Witness: Bush Bailout, Stimulus Package, Patriot Act. <br /> <br />I don't care what Party a person belongs to. If a lawmaker is going to vote in favor of the bill, that person has a moral and fiduciary responsibility to read and thoroughly analyze the bill. This applies to any bill, not just the healthcare bill.<br /> <br />Competent deliberation is not possible if no one has read the bill. Read it. Understand it. Have a fine-tuning debate about it. Make the healthcare or any bill as good as it can be. <br /> <br />We've already had enough slipshod laws passed over the last decade. Let's get some good ones passed now.<br /> <br />Jerrol LeBaron<br />Executive Director <br />Honor In Office<br />www.HonorInOffice.orgJerrol LeBaronhttp://www.honorinoffice.orgnoreply@blogger.com
