So when I hear about this FANTASTIC, WONDERFUL, LIFE-CHANGING, Health Care Legislation that is "going to be passed into law" per the Press Conference, I stop and say, okay where can I read this new bill that is so wonderful that was written in SECRET?
I CAN'T! YOU CAN'T! NO ONE CAN! Not yet, at least..that is until they all have a few hours to quickly review several thousand pages, or maybe they said they could review they summary or something..I couldn't get the gist of what exactly it was they were asking the Legislators to vote on..but I did hear loud and clear that all they needed was 60 votes to do whatever they wanted anyway, so they made some kind of "sweetheart deal" to get that 60th vote. Sweet. [pun intended]
I just want to read it. Why can't we read it? Why are you pulling this stuff while every one is out Christmas and Holiday shopping? Throw a PDF file up on your website Senator Reid, like you did with the last 2000 pager, and allow all of us in on the big SECRET! Let us do this the American, political democratic system of government way that we always do, and knock off this closed door stuff already!
I thought we were ushering in a NEW ERA OF TRANSPARENCY? When will this begin? Just toss up the new bill link so we can start reading it too. Please don't forget it is us, the PEOPLE that you are doing this for, so don't we have a right to be in on the process before you VOTE? Please?
I will forward this to the Senator as I always do, for he is my Senator, and ask for a response. When he responds, I will post it.
Just this one little citizen's opinion..
