While much remains to be done during the 113th Congress in Washington, D.C., politics took an August holiday without dealing with the Farm Bill, Sequestration and other important topics, mostly due to Republican leadership’s ho-hum attitude about governing what may be the greatest nation on Earth.

Congressman Loebsack is in the district during the August recess. What better time to find him and let him know your thoughts about what’s most important to you.

Easier said than done. Knowing his schedule is a bit of a question mark, and his campaign web site has not been updated since 2012. So call the office nearest you to find out when he will be in your area during the August recess.

You will be glad you did.
