Congress voting on bills without reading them

by dissent
tell your congress person that you want them to READ the bills before voting on them!
According to a guest on the Newshour, Wendy Kaminer, this evening, members of Congress are having to call up the ACLU to ask what they just voted on. There is such a rush and stampede that they are not representing their districts by not being aware of what they are voting on.

The point: they need some input from their constiuents! Please take a look at the bills being passed - the USA bill is very scary and other countries are falling in line behind the US.

James McDermott (D) Washington is also a guest expressing dissent, standing up for his right even against another guest asking him if he has any kindred spirits. He referred to Barbara Lee.

(Having any dissenters on this show at all is a sign of progress!)
