			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a follow up on my post about HR 554 which would require all bills being voted on to be posted online for 72 hours prior to a vote.</p>

<p>After I posted this asking everyone to contact their Reps about signing the Discharge Petition so this bill could come to the floor, I myself called my Representative and a few others who had &#8220;sponsored&#8221; this bill. What I found out, was that the Liberal Reps who had &#8220;sponsored&#8221; this bill had no intention of signing the Discharge Petition. The general response to the Discharge Petition was that it was a waste of the Representative&#8217;s time. How long does it take someone to sign their name??</p>
<p>Now lets think about that a minute, they are sponsoring a bill that they wont help bring to a vote? Now isnt that convenient? Seems to me you can sponsor anything you want when you dont have to back it up.</p>
<p>In reality, any liberal that will not sign it is just playing partisan politics as it would embarass Pelosi. That being said, I would encourage everyone to remind their Reps that we were promised a new era of transparency and we see through their partisan politics.</p>
