GIVING AMERICA 3 DAYS TO READ THE BILLS
Several major pieces of legislation have been passed by Congress without having been read by lawmakers or the public, including the trillion-dollar "stimulus" and the "cap and trade" national energy tax. John Boehner wants to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Boehner is leading an effort to force Speaker Pelosi to post all bills online for at least 72 hours before a vote by Congress -- that way both Americans and Congress have time to read them and understand their costs and consequences.
