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.

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 “sponsored” this bill. What I found out, was that the Liberal Reps who had “sponsored” 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’s time. How long does it take someone to sign their name??
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.
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.
