This is what I call the super-whammy. If you haven’t heard of this bill yet, hold on to your butts, cause it’s going to get fun.
The Read The Bills Act, originally authored by DownsizeDC.org in 2006, is finding more and more support. Recently, Representative Ron Paul, a current GOP Presidential hopeful, announced his support of this bill. His son Rand, a Senator from Kentucky, has supported it since 2006, and Representative Brian Baird and Senators Jim Bunning and John Ensign have all introduced it to their respective houses of Congress.
This bill would required any and all legislation be posted 7 days prior to the vote for the members of Congress to review it, and any members voting on a bill would be required to sign stating that they have read the bill.
The main focus of this bill is to slow the out of control growth of the Federal Government, and ensure that we don’t have any 1000 page monsters with God only knows what inside being passed without even the chance to look through it first.
