From Congressman Andy Harris:
U.S. House of Representatives Passes Bill to Combat Sexual Harassment in Congress
On November 29, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.Res. 630 – Requiring each Member, officer, and employee of the House of Representatives to complete a program of training in workplace rights and responsibilities each session of each Congress, and for other purposes. Congressman Andy Harris (MD-01) released the following statement in support of the resolution:
“Members of Congress must abide by the same standards of conduct as employers in the private sector. Unfortunately, some Members of Congress have demonstrated that they do not respect physical and verbal boundaries in the workplace. Today, the U.S. House of Representatives took a major step to prevent workplace discrimination and harassment by passing H.Res. 630. The mandatory training program outlined in this resolution will reinforce the standards of conduct that are expected in the workplace for all Members and staff. I am proud to support this resolution, and I commend Congresswoman Comstock for bringing this resolution to the House floor.”
FedUp says
You know who else doesn’t respect physical boundaries? Your idol, Andy. The orange one.

AAAWE,,, you didnt get your puppy yet???
henry says
Andy supports a bill that educates the elected people of Congress what everyone already knows.
Andy how about legislation that says if you are a perv you are immediately removed from congress? Won’t do that will you… much too risky you’ll lose too many Republican members.
SnowFlakePatrol says
and the Demorats are exempt??? Have you checked the news lately???hahaha
Seriously? says
Yes I have checked the news. Many are resigning. The GOP creeps are being endorsed for office. Go figure
FedUp says
I love it – they’re saying they are taking “the high ground.” After 30 years of living beneath a snakes belly, this is a farcical political stunt. Shaming, blaming, re-naming – the socialist democrat’s tactics while they suck the collective thumb in mom & dad’s basement.
If any of these public servants break the law, they need to be charged and kicked out of office. Nothing more, nothing less. Why are we the people tolerating this from elected public officials?
Tina Loft says
I am so proud of Andy. He knows that sexism should not be tolerated anywhere in government. Thank you to our Republican leaders for setting a great example.
Seriously? says
Hysterical Get back to us when Trump and Moore are tossed out on their a$$es.
call them like you post them says
Great examples – unlike the current leader of the Greedy Old Pedophiles and aspiring soon to be members? Hooray!!!!
SnowFlakePatrol says
Looks like a “LOT” of dems are flooding the GOP eh?
are you kidding me? says
Bet you still wear a pager and had big hair that went bald. Your name was lame when you and the other mindless minions created it. Now it is just old, tired and worn out – just like your political wit or lack of.
Pamela says
They should’ve been doing this decades ago.

This is NOT a partisan issue. This is a LEGAL issue of civil and criminal law. This issue further shows that the government and those who are supposed to be our duly elected representatives have been shielded from the inappropriate behavior that would’ve landed any ordinary citizen in jail or subject to a civil lawsuit. This is just another example of those who make up our government and are supposed to be held to a higher standard, being held to LOWER standards that any of the ordinary citizens. Get your heads out of your partisan hats and start being Americans. Don’t vote RED. Don’t vote blue. Vote AMERICAN. Your ballot should never be red or blue, it should be PURPLE!
Regrets voting for Trump says
Wow, well said.
Hank says
I don’t agree with most of what you have to say, but you’re spot on this time. I generally vote Republican, but not always and I’m disgusted with Trump in general and how the Republican leadership has suddenly decided to change their tune and grudging support a creep like Moore because they’re more concerned about having another R in the senate rather than what is right. I’m not surprised, but I am disgusted.
And Harris will not be getting my vote next election, not that he got it before. Same goes for Trump and I did grudgingly vote for him last year…I won’t make that mistake again no matter how supportive he is of law enforcement. I might even vote Democrat if they can put up a decent candidate.
SoulCrusher says
Well, I’m glad you agree with what I have to say for once, but that is not my motivation for doing what I do. I really don’t care if anyone agrees with me or likes what I have to say. My goal is to tell people the truth about what is going on around them, even if it makes them upset. You have my personal guarantee that I will state the truth or what I believe the truth to be on any subject. On this topic, I feel that there should be absolutely nothing political about the issues. As far as voting is concerned, I believe that this country wouldn’t be where it is today if it weren’t for partisan loyalty. There is very little chance that the best choice for candidates is tied to party lines. When voting, people should listen to both sides of the aisle and then vote for whom they feel is best suited for a position. A positive track record on adhering to campaign promises and not flip flopping on issues would sway my reasoning as well. The reasoning should never be R or D. The reasoning should always be whom you feel is best for the job, regardless of affiliation.
Seriously? says
Andy is too scared to stand up against anything, including Trump. He’s even too afraid to meet with his constituents. You know, the people he works for?
