And after being given a 'mandate' by the people to solve the problems which face us, the Republican controlled Congress opened the session by reading the Constitution, only it turns out that they left some stuff out but included other material which was actually from the Declaration of Independence.

Then they took-up the critical issues facing America, such as:

English as the official language

De-funding Planned Parenthood

Preventing the EPA from doing its job

De-funding PBS

De-funding climate change research

Extend the Patriot Act

Redefining the definition of rape

Slashing Pell Grants

Striping funds from Head Start

Investigating American citizens who just happen to be Muslims

Reducing funds for the Veterans Administration

Voting to fund contraceptives for wild horses, but proposing to make similar payments for human contraceptives illegal

Disallowing the last American WWI veteran to lie in state in the Capital rotunda

Throwing roadblocks in the way of implementing the repeal of DADT

And on and on it has gone, and yet we wonder why Congress it getting such low scores from the American people.
