What: Show Us THE Bill - Patients First Tour - CLAYTON
Where: 7900 Carondelet Ave, Clayton, MO
When: Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 10AM
This is the event sign-up for Join Patients First, which has been supported by American For Prosperity.
And if you need some fuel, check out the remarks Steny Hoyer, the Democratic Majority Leader has on reading legislation.
“If every member pledged to not vote for it if they hadn’t read it in
its entirety, I think we would have very few votes,” Hoyer told
CNSNews.com at his regular weekly news conference.
Hoyer was responding to a question from CNSNews.com on whether he
supported a pledge that asks members of the Congress to read the entire
bill before voting on it and also make the full text of the bill
available to the public for 72 hours before a vote.
In fact, Hoyer found the idea of the pledge humorous, laughing as he
responded to the question. “I’m laughing because a) I don’t know how
long this bill is going to be, but it’s going to be a very long bill,”
he said.
This is the strategy of bureaucrats so caught up in their power they don't see anything wrong with mocking the voters. Hoyer acknowledges that no one would vote for the bill if they had to read it first. Now, presumably he's saying that the members won't read it, but we're also aware that if all legislation was read, pork like the $3 million bailout for Captain Morgan we found in the TARP funds wouldn't get enacted.
This is the reality of Washington today. They don't care what you think, and think it's funny that anyone would ask them to do their job.
It's time to stand up. We'll see you Saturday.
