Pryce Wakes Up!

Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) has finally awakened from her nap to do something in Congress!

Did Pryce announce a plan to end the war in Iraq? NO
Did Pryce write a bill to bring healthcare for the poor? NO
Did Pryce do something to bring jobs to central Ohio? NO

What did Pryce do? Reuters:

Republican lawmakers have asked the top executives of NYSE Group Inc., which owns the New York Stock Exchange, and Dow Jones & Co. what will be done about any technical problems that contributed to Tuesday's steep drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama and Rep. Deborah Pryce of Ohio said on Wednesday they want to know if "unprecedented, intermittent system shortcomings" impacted the largest U.S. stock exchange and the Dow Jones index servers in a way that made the decline more alarming.....

Pryce is doing her part to protect her wealthy contributors. Apparently, she doesn't care about the regular, ordinary people in her district.
