why doesn't congress do some

That Is the threadbare inquiry we

II may refer to one thing, or II may
concern another.
Why doesn't congress do some

The answer IL very simple. very
tragic-because we do nothing our
selves. lI
We send representative to con.
gress and expect him to consider our
wishes, TO do our bidding.
Then we close our mouths and sit
down and wait for him to do some
thing"
But what Ia he to do?
How IL he to know what we want
done?
Does he ever hear from as?
