Is the bill available for public reading? Knowing our congress people, how would anyone know if they really read it or not?

They all can’t be expected to get off their ivory posts and read a bill that will only affect the commoners.

Must be those right-wing tea bag radicals again. I can’t wait until CNN picks up on this one.

I already emailed my state senators and congressperson with just one simple question.

Are you going to read legislation before voting or will you continue the new standard adopted by this congress?

I guess it’s too much to ask that our representatives know what they are voting on.

I’m sure it’s somewhere up on the House.gov website.

No one reads these bills...ever...have you ever tried? It’s all in such legalese, no one can understand. But that makes it easier to hide the really odious parts.

Steny Hoyer was right...if they had to read them before they were signed, nothing would ever pass.
