Good bye "Do Nothing Congress." Hello Democrats!
Over at Huffington Post, Speaker Pelosi sums up the very successful first 100 hours of the Democratic Congress. In fact, the Democrats accomplished their 100 HOUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA IN 42 HOURS, 15 MINUTES.
Way to go, Dems!
Huffington Post:
"Bully for the Democrats...They did what we didn't have the guts to do when it matters."
- Republican Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), January 5, 2007
That is what one of my Republican colleagues had to say about the first act of the Democratic majority, clamping down on corruption, lobbying, and earmarks.

Bettering the nation we love in ways both big and small is becoming reality. Democrats promised a New Direction for America, and in these first 100 hours we are all discovering that turning our promises into reality is much more than an obligation, it is our duty. Thanks to all of you for helping make it happen.
This is only the beginning.
