Please go to the following link and watch the brief video from Ron Paul on how the Stimulus Bill was passed. He says it was 1,000 pages long, had to be read over night, and there were only 4 hard copies available making it impossible to know exactly what was being voted on! This has been done many times before and Americans cannot allow it to continue!

TAKEN FROM WEBSITE DOWNSIZEDC.ORG:

They carelessly pass mammoth bills that none of them have read. Sometimes printed copies aren't even available when they vote!

Often no one knows what these bills contain, or what they really do, or what they will really cost.

Additions and deletions are made at the last minute, in secrecy.

They combine unpopular proposals with popular measures that few in Congress want to oppose. (This practice is called “log-rolling.â€
