"The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them." -- Patrick Henry
Thus it is with the House of Representatives, a body that floats 300-page amendments to energy policy bills at 3 AM and insists on a vote at 10 AM, without even distributing those 300 pages to members of the House. Not only is the content being concealed from the citizens, under Nancy Pelosi's leadership, it's being concealed from the people's Representatives!
What kinds of parliamentary procedures are being forced down the throats of our legislators? Why should we bother paying these people and their staffs when they know no more than WE do about pending legislation?
The outrage continues.
