House GOP Leaders Call for Democrats to Post Massive Omnibus Spending Bill Online

Now we just need to make sure none of our Republican Senators vote FOR the stimulus.

To our Senate Republicans: Filibuster time guys. Use the fact that it's not open and transparent to the public as a rallying call to hold off on the thing until it's posted online! Stand on your conservative principles.

House GOP Leaders Call for Democrats to Post Massive Omnibus Spending Bill Online
In a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD), House Republican leaders yesterday formally asked that the massive FY 2009 omnibus spending bill be posted online immediately. Posting the massive bill online would allow the American people to study the contents of the bill between now and the week after President’s Day, when the $500 billion legislation is scheduled to be brought to a vote, and would be consistent with President Obama’s call for greater transparency in government, Republican leaders noted.
