Transparency

Dear Congress,

When our president was running for office, he claimed that he would increase transparency and that he would go “line-by-line” through the bills. So far we have not seen any attempt to do this. We Americans are insisting on transparency. There is currently a bill on the floor to say that you have to post a bill on the internet for 72 hours to allow congressmen and the public to review it. Amazingly enough, the is opposition to the bill in congress. We Americans are shocked that you would even consider such a short time for review. How can you expect our congressmen to fully read and fully understand a 1,000 page bill and somehow form an opinion on this bill in only 72 hours? Realistically we should be proposing a 2 week waiting period to digest such a bill. Who are you trying to fool? I want you to know that I will not vote for a person that would deny a 72 hour posting. I want you to push for a 10 working day posting. Remember, we employ you. We want transparency. We want a government that works for us. And don’t forget, we are watching how you vote.
