Americans should be allowed to know the contents of major bills before they are brought to a vote in the House. Previous Congresses, including Republican ones, have failed to meet this common-sense standard. But never in history has the failure been more acute than under Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi, particularly over the past nine months.

Reps. John Culberson (R-TX) and Brian Baird (D-WA) have introduced a resolution that would require all bills to be posted online publicly for at least 72 hours before they are brought to a vote.

  • Mr. Boehner the GOP has a lot of convincing to do before 2012. Right now we Americans are so fed up with the corruption and lies coming from both sides that I am afraid the votes will split and Obama will win a 2nd term. Please, I am begging you and all politicans as Americans to revisit your conscience, our American history and Constitution and take this country in the right direction. Love this country and help preserve its freedoms and values. God bless America.

  • Chinese restaurants have mystery meat....could be pork or damn that wasn't chicken.

  • I know you've been a democratic country for only a few months now, but don't you think you're a little slow, just a little too slow on subjects like reading Bills before you vote and passe them..., G.O.O.D L.U.C.K. with this one A.N.Y. H.O.W...
