“The members of the 113^th Congress were sworn in this month and are now on the clock. Join us in welcoming the new Congress, while urging your members to find a way to restore public confidence in our elected leaders.  We hope the new Congress will look to POGO’s work to find some common ground – our recommendations on ways to cut wasteful Pentagon spending, for example, are smart, strategic moves that we think should rise above partisan politics.

“The challenges facing our country are too important and too complex for Congress to maintain the status quo. Make sure your members know how you feel.”
