Break Congressional Gridlock

Require all members of Congress to attend a workshop led by the U.S. Olympians on teamwork, civIlity and respect.

Why is this important?

House Corporate Mouthpiece John Boehner recently blamed the American people for the devisiveness in Congress, a gross act of political cowardness and hypocracy and certainly a pathetic abrogation of leadership.

In marked contrast the U.S. Olympic athletes have shown the power of teamwork. They have also exemplified
the ideal of sportsmanship, enthusiastically congratulating the winning athletes of other countries.
