Various grassroots organizations are blasting Congress for not taking the time to properly consider the energy bill or health care reform — two very significant pieces of legislation.
Let Freedom Ring, a non-profit, grassroots organization that supports a conservative agenda, announced an initiative today urging members of Congress to sign a pledge to read and give citizens the opportunity to read any health care reform legislation before voting on it.
“For something as significant as health care reform, which influences 16 percent to 17 percent of GDP, I think it is important for legislators to know what they’re voting on, and not have lobbyists and staff members be the only ones who know what’s in there,” said Colin Hanna, Let Freedom Ring president.
