Demand action and explanation from congress on why the Hurricane sandy relief was not voted on!!

Created by E.P. on January 02, 2013

Congress refused to vote on the hurricane sandy relief bill but could be bothered to pass some other not so urgent bills
Here is a list of items Congress did decide to bring for a vote on New Year’s Day before fleeing for the night/year, provoking well-deserved outcries from New York Republicans. These are the items that are apparently more urgent than Hurricane Sandy relief,
• Drywall safety
• Frank Buckles WWI Memorial
• Redesignate Neil A. Armstrong Flight Research
Center and Hugh L. Dryden Test Range
• Conveyance of certain property in Kotzebue, AK
Relief packages for other states with this kind of disaster were no problem but now congress wants to make a fight of it. Congress pay should be docked until they can prove they can do their job.Normal people would have been fired already
