thisfinecrewIt's been a little quiet around here as the Minority President's administration has become the new normal and has stopped blowing up in a big way every other day. Or that's my impression anyway.
I'm still using ResistBot to tell my Congress people that I support Obamacare and that healthcare should be a right. But I'm starting to feel a little stale on that topic, so I'm probably going to start talking about my support for the EPA because I like clean air and clean water.
I was wondering what other issues folks are talking to their Congress people about. What's near and dear to your heart?

I mean, without the law, if you work a 50-hour week and a 25-hour week 3 months apart, for those two weeks in *total* you are paid 80 hours of pay (40+15 the first week, 25 the other).
With the law, if you do the same thing using comp time, in *total* you are paid 80 hours of pay...but the extra 15 hours of pay from the 50-hour week doesn't arrive until you take it as comp time in the 25-hour week.
Why are we adding a law to have employees loan their employers money from their wages??? O.o
