One Necessary Reform

Via John Cole at Balloon Juice, I wanted to recommend and pass along ReadtheBill.org, a new effort to pass legislation mandating a 72-hour "sunshine period" between completion of a legislative bill and its passage by Congress. (Technically the House already has this rule but they consistently ignore it).

I fully support ReadtheBill's efforts. No more midnight meetings of Rules Committees and debate on the floor hours later before anyone's even seen what they're supposed to be voting on.
