Read the Bill

I just sent my member of Congress a letter asking them to cosponsor H.Res. 688. This resolution would require proposed bills to be posted on the Internet for 72 hours before they come up for floor debate. This idea is simple and powerful. This can work. It's led by a new organization called ReadtheBill.org. They are non-partisan and non-ideological. They don't support or oppose bills on substance. They just want transparency. I support this effort. Take a few minutes to go to ReadtheBill.org to check it out. You can urge your House member to cosponsor H.Res. 688, or send the organization a few bucks. This is one way to clean up the mess in Washington, D.C. that can actually work.
