Drug Test Congress

In light of the ongoing pursuit of strengthening the drug
testing standard imposed upon Major League Baseball members of congress must
lead by example. We have heard the media debate and the ongoing discussions
about the responsibilities of professional athletes to be held accountable for
their actions. Let us not forget that baseball is still a game.
Major League Baseball is performed for our entertainment should we choose to
watch, as is football, hockey, basketball et al. Congress on the other
hand consists of elected officials that we entrust to do their best to make our
country great. Members of congress are elected by the citizens of the USA
and they are paid by our tax dollars ultimately making them accountable to us.
The steroid issue of MLB is undeniable but it does not have any effect on my
safety and my day to day life or that of any other citizens of the USA.
There exist many more pressing issues going on in the United States of America, including
but not limited to healthcare, homeland security, crime, and education reform.
These are examples of the issues that we as American citizens elect our
officials to remedy. In the grand scheme of things baseball players are merely
entertainers whereas members of congress are making life changing decisions on
a daily basis. For this reason, we the undersigned request that mandatory
drug testing be imposed upon all members of congress.
