More broken promises

During his campaign Obama promised full "transparency" and told us that every proposed law would be put "on line" for 72 hours, for the public to read, before a vote. The administration has yet to do that on ANY proposed law.

As a Senate committee works feverishly this week on their version of a Health Care bill, the Republicans introduced an amendment today to post the proposed Senate bill on line for 72 hours, before the committee votes to send it to the Senate floor for final approval. The Democrats rejected the amendment.

This is what we are up against as our politicians try to ram laws down our throats without input from "the folks".

All I can say is yell and scream and write to your Senator and Congressperson, although so far the Democrats do not seem to be listening. They know that they have the power to push just about any law through.
