There is a radical idea being floated around congress that would require that all bills be published online 7 days prior to a vote. This would prevent last minute additions of $200 million bridges to nowhere and allow the public to see exactly what new bills actually mean. While it wouldn't actually force congressmen to read what they are voting on, it will allow voters the opportunity to read them and possibly contact their congressmen if they have an issue with it.

I think it is a great idea that promotes accountability for our elected officials. If you agreee, click this link to notify your congressman.
