Letter to the editor: Bills should be shorter — and read — in Congress

I would love to see a bill proposed by Congress to limit the amount of pages each new proposed bill could contain — no more than five pages, front and back. In addition, before a vote is taken on the bill, each member of Congress must sign a statement that they have read the bill in its entirety and understand all contained within the bill — and then sign.

I can’t imagine that bills are voted on that have not been read. This is allowing money to be recklessly spent and wasted in ways that never should be. There should be no more bills presented to Congress in the middle of the night.

Come on, Congress — we expect and deserve better than this. Our forefathers would be outraged and ashamed of the sneaky, possibly criminal behavior that has now become “business as usual” in our Congress.

Please, please, please, let’s save our country!
