Full House Debate Ahead - 5 Bills to Consider Tuesday 11/21

Post a message to your constituents ahead of the choices you will make on the House floor Tuesday.  Your post should make mention of all 5 bills that you will be voting on, at least briefly.  Claim credit where you can, and set the groundwork for legislation you may have to favor that they may not like.   This should be a minimum of 1 paragraph.  Your target audience is your constituents, but maybe you may also use this opportunity to send a message to your opposition.  Whips, there may be some useful information in these posts to give you ideas about how to get your legislation over the finish line, (or prevent that from happening).

TUESDAY - HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BLOG

The voters have not been happy with Congress of late, so both the House and the Senate have begun to blog daily to a public blog to increase transparency in the institution.   Consider that while only House members are allowed to publish to the blog, it does have a healthy readership from across the country.

Monday and Tuesday's session involved the assignment of committees, leadership positions, referral of some bills, and some general intra - party strategizing.  What is your take on today's session, considering your demographics, your goals, and cross-pressures?

You should work to set your post apart from others - rather than have your post look like everyone else's.
