It should be unconscionable for legislators to vote in favor of legislation they have not had the opportunity to read. This is why I have re-introduced the Sunlight Rule, H.Res 216. The Sunlight Rule prohibits any piece of legislation from being brought before the House of Representatives unless it has been available to read for at least 10 days.

Heads up!

Bills should be clean and no longer than 50 pages.

“The Sunlight Rule prohibits any piece of legislation from being brought before the House of Representatives unless it has been available to read for at least 10 days.”

And yet AGAIN, we discover that our darkest fears Pale into insignificance, at the Reality, that this Bill is even NEEDED.

Thank you Dr Paul.

We are in a crisis. We must act immediately.

This is being reactionary. Virtually all of today's politicians are reactionaries. They thrive on fear and crisis, and soooo many Americans, now a majority, swallow it - the crisis of course being developed by the Media, which loves it.

Deeper thought and long term concern, e.g. the US Constitution, is passe, and the shallow egocentricity of juvenilism prevails, e.g. Barack Obama.

I think Toynbee and certainly some other astute historians explained this.

Ron Paul incidentally is one of the few legitimate thinkers in US politics; that is why he gets flamed, even on FR.

Unbelievable that most in Congress have law degrees and yet never seemed to have learned the first thing about "fiduciary responsibilities". We actually have to get a bill passed to make them READ what they vote on, and tell us about it before they pass it.

But once again, Ron Paul to the rescue with some common sense!

Sunlight? Try UV with a chaser of chlorine.
