Congress returned from their 5 week recess to work 8 days. They voted on arming Syrian rebels, and they're off again for the majority of the fall term.
The taxpayers pay too much money to support their extended vacations from responsibilities in times of war and global crises.
Military members continue to put their lives on the line every day to ensure American's freedom, but our Congress continues to be unproductive or in this case--refusing to work at all. We're paying them to work, so why are they working for their own re-election and not for the people?
This petition is to ask President Obama to cut the congressional recess and to order Congress to come back to work until they've voted on the war on ISIS. If our national security is at stake, there is no excuse for their absence.
