John Edwards proposed a 7 day wait before voting on legislation... |
|
...in which the final legislation is online and lawmakers and the public can read it.
He proposed that in 2004.
We could use those 7 days before $700 billion is given to Wall Street.
Too bad that wait isn't law.

2. Even 5 days would be an improvement... |
|
...over lawmakers voting on bills before the ink is dry.
