Contact your District Congressman and demand they Cosponsor H.R. 6085

The bill is referred to by Congressman Boustany as “No Show, No Pay” Act.

On Tuesday, in a statement concerning HR 6085 Boustany said:

“Serving as a Member of Congress is not a part-time job. The primary duty of a Member of Congress is to advocate on behalf of its constituency by casting important votes. Some of my colleagues take their office for granted and refuse to accept this responsibility. They habitually miss important votes on key policy initiatives and legislation by leaving early or arriving late in order to attend fundraising and campaign events.

By Mr. BOUSTANY:

shall be published from time to time. The Appropriations

Clause provides Congress with a mechanism to control or to

limit spending by the federal government
