7 Day Work Week for Republican Legislators?

I liked this letter to the editor of the Wisconsin State Journal a lot:
Republican lawmakers should do as they say -- Mary Maronek

Republicans Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend and Rep. Mark Born, R-Beaver Dam, have introduced legislation to go to a seven-day workweek.

They should set an example for Wisconsin workers by working seven days a week for a year, without using time for campaigning or fundraising, and report back how successful they found this opportunity to "boost production." They need to walk their talk.
