Call Steve Kagen, "Read The Bill, Read The Bill"

If you were at any tea party or your mad as hell or both, you need to call your congressman.




Legislation for a 72 hour time period to read bills before a vote can be taken. Steve Kagen has not backed this resolution as of yesterday date of the article. If you care about your representative  ramming bills through congress, this needs to be passed into law. Only Sensenbrenner, Ryan and Petri from Wisconsin have signed onto HR 554.

"SOMETHING IN THE AIR

Legislators push for 72-hour waiting period before House can pass laws

FORT DODGE, Iowa – With American protesters shouting, "Read the bill!" at their U.S. representatives during the summer's town hall meetings, a growing tide of lawmakers are working to force Congress to slow down the legislative process enough to do exactly that.

A pair of resolutions are pending before the U.S. House of Representatives that would require Congress to delay both debate and voting on legislation until bills are made public online for a set waiting period.

A bipartisan group of 128 legislators have co-sponsored the first resolution, H.Res. 554, which would require any legislation – including both original bills and significant amendments – be made public for 72 hours before debate can begin.

The second, H. Res. 721, would make the waiting period 30 days in the specific case of major health-care reform.

Rep. Steve Kagen, D-Wis., was one of several legislators to be met at their town halls with protesters chanting, "Read the bill! Read the bill!"

A Wisconsin man who attended Kagen's town hall meeting in Green Bay explained to the Fox News Channel that he wanted to express the message, "We don't feel that Washington is listening to us."
