Cicero over at To The People (link from Radley Balko) has a really good post about Welfare Queens and Congress' enabling them even further.
Apparently, there is a law that docks the pay of Senators and Representatives when they don't show up to work. This law is rarely enforced. So, because it is rarely enforced, Senator Allard (R-Co) wants to get rid of it. It's not clear whether the change would affect all members of Congress or just Senators. Cicero gives a good link to tell Senator Allard just how much you appreciate this idea.
