"House Dems add a week to their August recess"
http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefi...-august-recess.

Democrats announced on Friday that they plan to add a week to their annual August recess.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said that the House would wrap up its work earlier than expected, allowing it to start recess a week earlier than expected.

The change in the schedule means that the House will wrap up for the summer by July 30th.

"The House will complete its business for the July work period by Friday, July 30. There will now be no votes in the House the week of August 2," Hoyer said in a statement. "The revised schedule allows ample time to both continue our work to create jobs, promote fiscal responsibility, and investigate the BP oil spill, as well as have Members in their Districts hearing directly from their constituents."

The official House schedule for the year had called on recess to begin on August 9th. Lawmakers still appear unlikely to return to Washington until after the Labor Day holiday.

It's not clear how this will affect the schedule in the Senate, which has more legislative priorities still left on its agenda.


Both Sens. in my state support DREAM and CIR, but we really need this to be attached as an amendment to another bill *soon*. The goal is to have DREAM passed before the end of July otherwise who knows what excuse will come up between now and September for them to use. And what's the deal with Schumer? I haven't read that he actually supports DREAM as a separate measure...And apparently he was not at the meeting with activists this last Friday. I wonder what kind of backroom negotiation he is doing with the White House.

is it really 40 if edward kennedy is still on the co-sponsor list?

I have to question their intentions since they waited till now to co sponsor

REPUBLICANS- this is your moment to get Hispanic votes! You're already in the dump for the BP Drill Baby Drill fiasco, why do you continue to commit sepuku aka political suicide?

yea we should all volunteer for republican candidates for state office's send democrats a message if u don't help us we will give the republican's the hispanic vote...that should wake them up im sure they don't want republican's takenin a big chunk of they're voting block....
