Shame on Congress for campaigning when they are needed in D.C.

Congress does it again. They took a five-week recess in August to campaign and went back to Washington, D.C., on Sept. 8.  And then they take another recess days later to campaign.

 What is wrong with Congress?  

The ISIS threat is on the table, and our president needs backing on this explosive situation. There are congressional bills requiring attention. And where is Congress? On vacation to campaign.

Is Congress thinking about the threat of another war? Are they thinking about the thousands of our veterans who need help? Is the VA scandal settled? No, and there are many other issues.

If we have another war and troops are once again boots on the ground, more of our men and women in uniform will die, and more will come home broken.

Bills that need attention to help our veterans are being sat on.

What sound advice is Congress giving the president of the terrorist group ISIS?

All Congress is doing is thinking of  themselves and the November election.

Stand up, America, and be counted. Let Congress know what you think is best.
