♦ nivek ♦ Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Senate underscores need for RTBA and OSTADownsize DC by James Leroy Wilson "The final vote was taken after several dozens of amendments were considered over the previous week. After it was passed on April 10, it took the Government Printing Office seven days to put the new H.R. 3221 on-line. At the time of this writing, the Library of Congress still hasn't posted a summary of the new version. Is it acceptable that the people don't know the contents of a bill until a week or more after it has passed? Shouldn't we instead get a chance to read bills a week before they're voted on, to give Congress our feedback? We don't believe a bill on an issue so vital to the American people as the foreclosure crisis should be rushed through without the public having a chance to review it. That's one reason DownsizeDC.org has proposed the Read the Bills Act." (04/18/08) http://tinyurl.com/6dnspy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
