Congress is about to start their seventh recess, which will last a month, and they still have not fixed the border problems. The House will start their recess July 27 and will return Sept. 9. The Senate will begin Aug. 3, and will return Sept. 13.

When they return, they will continue to avoid the border problems in hopes of using it against the president in the 2020 elections while showing no concern for this country or the real citizens. It is also that time of the year when they begin to blackmail each other over the budget and threaten a government shut down, and again with no real concern for this country. They really don't care about us, only themselves.

If you see them out during this recess, please take the time to approach them and voice your opinion. An email, a letter or phone call to their office really get no results. A direct face-to-face confrontation may force them to answer you directly or just upset them, which they deserve.
