Congress in recess – Both the House and Senate are on a two week “District Work” break.

Congress will reconvene on April 9th. See House Calendar
No tax dollars for jihadists – The Religious Freedom Coalition has begun an online petition asking congressmen to speak out against any funding, military or otherwise, to jihadists anywhere in the world.

Provide your name and zip code, and a copy of the petition will be faxed to your congressman free of charge. See petition here.
