Congress and Zika

Congress just failed to pass a bill for additional Zika funding. I wonder how members of Congress would respond if a group of citizens walked in and announced that all the members who did not vote for money to fight the Zika virus would be injected with the virus.

That would be the end of all the Republican/ Democratic games of you vote for what I want and I'll vote for what you want.
