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!

The Congress, who seems so insistent on insuring that all contracts written anymore between consumers and sellers be written in a plain language understandable at a sixth grade reading level, (so the average American receiving a public high school diploma can understand them), should also be required to write all laws so they can be understood at a third grade reading level.
This will insure most members of Congress can understand the bills, without the necessity of having two lawyers reading them.

OUTSTANDING! Pelosi won't let it get near the floor though is my guess...her party depends on ignorance to succeed.
