John Fund writes in the Wall Street Journal that Majority Leader Harry Reid won't even agree to put the Senate version of a health care reform bill online for 72 hours before it's voted on.
As Fund asks, "what's the rush?" Or as I ask: what are they trying to pull this time? What are they afraid of us finding out?
Have the Democrats in Congress learned nothing from the tea party movement and all the people who turned out at town hall meetings over the summer? Have they not noticed that we hate this? These people are supposed to represent us. Representing us should not take the form of them ramming through a bill that does not enjoy majority support because they "know better." They should not get to reorganize one-seventh of the US economy in the dark of night without citizen input.
Call your Senator and let them know we want a chance to read the bill. For that matter members of the Senate should want to read it too.
