KY Congressmen Haven't Pledged to Exercise Common-Sense
The entire concept is ridiculous:
Signing a pledge to read legislation before voting on it?
Have we really come to a point where we have to have our representatives pledge to actually preform the simple acts they were elected to do?
Anyway, a group called "Let Freedom Ring" has created a pledge for our legislators to sign, stating that they will read the health care legislation before voting on it. Here's the text:
I, _________ pledge to my constituents and to the American people that I will not vote to enact any healthcare reform package that:
I have not read, personally, in its entirety; and,
Has not been available, in its entirety, to the American people on the Internet for at least 72 hours, so that they can read it too.
So which of Kentucky's Senators and Representatives have been so bold as to pledge to cast an informed vote?
Rep Geoff Davis, KY - 04
Rep Brett Guthrie, KY - 02
Rep Harold Rogers, KY - 05
Yep, that's it.
