Tell Congress to do something about economy, jobs

Posted: Updated:

This week, Congress finally came to an agreement and passed a bill on the debt ceiling. Unfortunately for us, nothing has really been fixed. 

Yes, we won't default on our bills for now. And, yes, we retained our AAA rating.

But the best thing that came out of Monday was the return of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords to the floor of Congress. She received national attention as a "symbol of hope" that something good could happen in Washington.

And we are hoping that will happen. It is time to get something done about our debt, our economy and putting people back to work.   

And it can't come too soon here at home. A publication just named Tucson the "sickest" housing market in the nation.

Think about it.

It's time for our lawmakers to stop fighting and do their jobs. It doesn't matter which party you belong to - voice your opinion. Call your senators and representatives and tell them to take action - before it's too late.
