Can we talk about what we want from Congress? The more I talk to people, the more it seems like there is a great detachment from what the job should be. Here is what I want from #mycongress. Feel free to join me twitterverse.

#Mycongress works in DC M-W most weeks, Th-F are blocked off for reading bills and office hours with constituents, back home if possible. #Mycongress doesn't do crazy late-night votes. People who are not well-rested make bad decisions.

#Mycongress doesn't rush bad law. Nothing urgent goes through congress, do it right the first time. Make laws only if it improves existing law. #Mycongress doesn't work weekends. It's a hard job. If you don't reconnect and refresh with family, you forget why you are there.

#Mycongress is not expected to work or campaign every moment of every day, whether or not it's an election season. This is a job that requires balance. We should not reward every waking moment being the job, living like that makes you bad at it.
