The office was extremely quiet today, not even the crickets made an appearance in the office. I guess the rain kept everyone preoccupied, it has been a dreary week. Today I helped my co-worker organize some outlines that will be sent to the other offices in the district. This task fit me perfectly because I am very particular with how information is presented.
In other news, yesterday Congressman Flores, as promised, voted to repeal Obamacare. The vote in the house was a staggering 244-185 in favor of its repeal. The bill will now be on its way to the Senate. However, I feel the odds of defeating the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or more commonly known as Obamcare, are slim to none. The bill needs 60 votes in order to get brought up in the Senate, then its majority rule. If it passes the Senate, it then goes to President Obama for his signature, but the Democrats currently control the Senate. It is highly unlikely that they would even allow the bill to be brought up. If it somehow magically went to the President, he would veto it and there are simply not enough votes to override his veto. In conclusion, the chances of repealing this bill remain very slim unless Mitt Romney is elected president in 2012. Needless to say, this election is going to very interesting. Let the mud-slinging begin.
Overall, even in this time of heated emotions, I am extremely proud to work for such an honest person who stands by what he says. Viva la Congressman Flores.
