From To The People

Roll Call is the first newspaper that I’m aware of to call for subjecting members of Congress to the same security procedures as the rest of us:
we have a simple solution to make sure we don’t see a repeat of the [McKinney]incident, and it doesn’t even require Members to keep track of those pesky lapel pins. With the full-throated support of the House and Senate leadership, the police board should immediately call an end to the practice of allowing Members and those accompanying them to bypass magnetometers and other security measures around the Capitol complex….A little inconvenience may cause Members to better remember why the Capitol Police are here

It’ll never happen. There should be a new party called NI in the next election. NI, of course, meaning Not Incumbent. Throw them your support, and let’s start to clean up this mess, one seat at a time.
