Democrats Reject Transparency

So much for transparency.

"As Congress lurches closer to a decision on an enormous overhaul of the American health care system, pressure is mounting on legislative leaders to make the final bill available online for citizens to read before a vote.

Nearly every Republican has signed on(to post the bills online 72 hours before the vote), but the Democratic leadership is unwilling to cede control over when bills are brought to the floor for votes and are discouraging their rank and file from signing the petition. Senate Democrats voted down a similar measure last week for the health care bill."

We should be demanding from our elected leaders the right to see what they are doing for US, to us. We need to remind these people they are SUPPOSED to work for We The People.
