July 22, 2009 - WHO NEEDS THE SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN?

I am still hung up on the fact that Obama, the Senators nor the Congressmen read any of the bills that they are passing. Who is responsible for preparing these bills? It seems that Nancy Peloci and Harry Reid have the most input into the bills, but there is no telling who else is responsible for everything that is written in these bills. Could it be that the task of preparing these bills have been turned over to "staffers?" Staffers are not elected by us but appointed/hired employees. If not staffers, then who?

This is scary stuff! There are 1,000 or so pages in every one of the bills that are being passed, without our "elected" lawmakers doing their duty and reading what they are voting on.

In fact, I think there should be a "law" passed that all of them be forced to read the bills and take a generalized "compentancy" test to assure that they understand the bills before they are allowed to vote. Instead, they simply vote yes or no along party lines or whatever mood they might be at the time they vote. It's ludicrous that they are allowed to get away with such behavior.

Now, once again, without reading the health care bill, they are going to try and ram it down our throats...just before they take a three month rest from their weary duties as our lawmakers.

I agree with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News...why do we need these lawmakers if they are not going to read the bills?
