Back to Work? Not For Pryce!

The House of Representatives went back to work on Tuesday, September 4th. However, Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce was not at work. Even though Pryce and her colleagues had been on vacation since August 5th, that apparently wasn't enough for Pryce. She needed more time off and did not show up for votes in the House. According to the clerk of the House:
Pryce did not vote for Roll Call 847 or Roll Call 848 or Roll Call 849.

What we have here is a representative who has missed 73 votes and has not apologized for it. The voting session for the House of Representatives started at 2pm yesterday and adjourned at 11:46pm. There was plenty of time for her to travel from Columbus to Washington, DC to be at her job on time. If Deborah Pryce is unwilling to be at her elected office on time and perform her duties, then it is time for her to resign. Contact Pryce's office and tell her what you think of her lack of initiative in getting to work: (614) 469-5614 or (202) 225-2015. You may also suggest that she resign if she doesn't want to work for her constituents.
