Room in Capitol to now be called ‘Freedom Foyer’

It's all a part of the budget deal.

Once again, it pays to read the fine print.

The budget deal Congress and the White House worked out is more than 100 pages long. 

Section 1201 reads, in its entirety: “The first floor of the area of the House of Representatives wing of the United States Capitol known as the small House rotunda is designated the ”Freedom Foyer’.'”

Democracy only works with an informed citizenry, you know.
