Hey Harlem dudes, big fight in Congress, is it Glass Steagall Act time? I hope so.
LaRouche PAC organizers continued to intervene in Washington, D.C.,
today, demanding that the planned congressional recess be cancelled so
as to address the looming financial collapse and the threat of
thermonuclear war by reinstating Glass- Steagall and removing Barack
Obama from office.
Thus far a number of Congressmen have called for the Congress to stay
in session on the basis of lesser issues. On Monday, Rep. Gerald
Connally (D-VA), Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), and Gov. Bob McDonnell (R-VA)
attended a rally in Arlington, VA, demanding that Congress stay in
session to head off the budget sequestration by passing a budget.
At a press conference early Wednesday, Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.)
explained how Congress is leaving the American people at a time when
they need it most, before passing the Jobs Bill and Farm Bill. Larson
said, "As one of my constituents put it, why are you leaving us in this
dark abyss of uncertainty?"
In a July 31 letter to House Speaker John Boehner, Rep. Dave Loebsack
(D-Iowa) said the House should stay in session to take action before
the U.S. Postal Service defaults on a payment to its Retiree Health
Benefit Fund which will default on its obligation to pay $5.5 billion on
Aug. 1 and on another $5.6 billion in September. Loebsack wrote: "This
and many other critical issues are facing families, businesses, and
farmers, and as the Speaker of the House, I call on you to keep the
House in session and get the work of the American people done."
On Wednesday, Boehner and other top House Republicans said they will
immediately call the House back into session if the Senate takes action
regarding the threat posed by the defense sequester and potential
expiration of all the George W. Bush-era tax cuts.
