			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Senator Jeff Sessions is speaking and giving the crowd an update on Washington. His wife Mary is also attending the meeting. It is great to see so many GOP supporters this morning. </p>
<p>Senator Sessions talks about how the current path of our government&#8217;s spending is unsustainable. He says Obama is blind to the whole problem, claiming his (Obama&#8217;s) plan will pay down the debt. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as &#8220;Obamacare,&#8221; could take up as much as 65 percent of the state&#8217;s general fund budget if it goes into effect, according to one area legislator.</p>
<p>&#8220;How do you pay for that? That&#8217;s the questions of the millennium,&#8221; said state Sen. Clay Scofield, a Republican from Red Hill. &#8220;The only real way to pay for it is to raise taxes, and I&#8217;m not talking a little bit. They&#8217;re going to have to raise it a bunch. That&#8217;s going to kill this country and this state.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Each month, the U.S. House has what is called a &#8220;District Work Week,&#8221; a time that&#8217;s set aside for Members to travel to their home districts and meet with constituents in person. During August, that period is extended to a month, and it&#8217;s a busy time of traveling across North Alabama, meeting with constituents, businesses, community leaders, and attending other meetings and activities. For me, August included six Town Halls, a work trip to Israel, and numerous other events.
