Current Event: 11/3

News Story: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/02/how-the-gop-plans-to-run-_n_777678.html

What does article say about voters: That voters are frustrated with bills that run longer than a thousand pages and an opaque process run by leadership rather than through a transparent committee process.

Which states were votes contested: Alaska, Colorado, Illinois, Washington

New problems in the house: "GOP leadership hopes to avert an insurrection from its extreme wing and unite the party under a common banner of strict adherence to the Constitution and sharp reductions in spending."

Summarize article: This is an article on how with the new Repbulicans and Democrat balance, the House of Representatives needs to balance and start making changes in a new way designed to respond to voter fustration. In the short term, cutting spending will be the first thing done to hamper the situation.
