almost as bad as walking out with top secret documents stuffed into yer tighty-whitees, or allowing a chineeze national to waltz back to home-ville with goodies collected.

1: get your reps to vote 2: if it is that important to them, give up a weekend at the condo and come back and do something. Nobody is forcing a vacation.
