Letter: New Congress must act wisely

The Details

The first subpoenas issued by our new Congress will tell us all whether they speak truth or speak with forked tongues.

If their first subpoenas are for Big Oil executives, corporate executives, et al., to testify before Congress and the American public about “Drill Baby, Drill,” price gouging, fraud, deceit, monopoly, price fixing and other criminalities and immoralities, then they will be speaking truth.

If their first subpoenas are for political games to tie up our country in a knot for two years, then they speak with forked tongues.

They have two years to use their time wisely or we can toss them out. I'm hoping they do the right thing. If you dwell on the past, you cannot enjoy the future. If you keep looking back, you cannot look forward and see what is in front of you, and you may trip, slip, or hit your head on something. We shall see.
