Check out Downsize DC @ http://www.downsizedc.org/ Specifically, One subject at a time act, Read the bills act, Enumerated Powers act (where the bill has to site where in the constitution it is allowed) New comment by ericj 2008-07-02T13:43:27Z tag:opencongress.org,2008-07-02:/comment/31687 ericj Why would anybody, congressperson or public, *not* want this to pass? How many contracts do you personally sign that you don't read through first?
