The RTBA: Read the Bills Act

7 June 2007

The RTBA: Read the Bills Act
http://www.downsizedc.org/read_the_la…_laws.shtml
would make it a requirement that proposed legislation be posted to the internet for 7 days prior to a vote in Congress and that the bills actually be read in Congress before the vote. Sounds like a good idea. Of course, it wouldn’t be possible to have gargantuan complicated bills so Congress would need to change the way they approach the task of legislation. Could the RTBA work? Would it improve the way our government functions? Should it be proposed at the State government level, too?

ahhhh - yes.  Especially when they pass tax increases at 3:00 AM.

    I am shocked - SHOCKED - that legislators might vote on laws affecting our pocketbooks without actually reading the bill. Simply incredible. Does this happen in other states as well?

    Are you being sarcastic?

    But thanks for reading!
