Couple hundred years ago, when I was young and the world was another place entirely...
I hitchhiked across the country a few times.. and even though I've never lived in Oklahoma I can honestly say I nearly died there. Damn those were good times.
That was back when a kid could leave home in Spring with a quarter and a spare pair of jeans and have an endless stream of adventures.. probably live through it, and make it home in time for school in September.
That was before Route 66 was a modern marketing windfall, it was just the road to L.A. and it took you through America along the way.
Amber waves of grain, man... and Indians, and Rednecks.

But we don't have a Route 66 here in eRep.
So who cares.
What matters is that Oklahoma has a Congress seat.
That's one vote in 56 or so, to raise income and sales taxes, lower import and export tarrifs, and conduct the normal business of shuffling the Congressional Budget.

No, wait... 56 seats, give or take, so when there's a vote to be taken there should be 56 Congressmen voting, right...
No.. apparently not. The Speaker of the House has shut down Congress because they haven't bothered to be available even in the minimum number to have a legal vote. Several times.

What.
The.
Fu*k.

Okay.... obviously, my first big campaign promise is that I'll be there... I mean... I don't even know how anyone can fu*k off their responsibilities that bad.. I just can't fathom it.
So... when there's a vote, I'll be there voting.
Jees...
How fu*king stupid is it, that this is even an issue.

Elect me to represent you in Congress, and I'll actually be there and represent you in Congress.

On a related non-issue..
When there's discussion and debate before a vote... I have very little tolerance for bullshit, so I'll be as involved as my fellow Congressmen are serious and mature..
So I'll hang with intelligent debate that gets somewhere.. but I'll let the kiddies play without me if it all turns to childish sniping an' shit...
I've heard that the discussions can go either way.. guess I'll have to see for myself.

So there ya go...
I'll work with intelligent discourse, but I'll bail on nonproductive bullshit.
And I'll vote, every time.
Right there are two things that are different than how things have been in Congress.
Right there's two reasons to elect me to Congress.


Let's get a bite at Tally's, in Tulsa, and check the map.
I have a lot on my mind... not really sure if some of it is appropriate (imagine me giving a crap about appropriate content!), I know some would be counterproductive... this politics jazz is new for me, I'm gonna have to sort some stuff out and get back to y'all...
Maybe a new issue later today, maybe just tomorrow... we'll see.
