With the echoes of August ringing in her ears, U.S. Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite is making available copies of Nancy Pelosi’s 2,000-page paperweight for her District 5 constituents to marvel over ahead of Saturday’s presumed vote in the House of Representatives. The details from Brown-Waite’s office follow:
Washington D.C. – U.S. Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite encourages her constituents to stay up-to-date on the health care debate in Washington by providing some local libraries with the full text of the 1,990 page bill. If the library in your area does not have a copy of the bill, links to the bill and related documents are posted on her website:
“Speaker Pelosi may have felt it was okay to write her health care bill without the input of the American people, but that’s not the way I operate,” Brown-Waite said. “My constituents deserve the opportunity to read this health care bill right along side their Member of Congress.
“To aid in this effort, my office will provide some local libraries around the 5th district with copies of the Democrats’ 1,990 page bill. My constituents can also find the latest bill text, news articles, summaries and reports on my website: brown-waite.house.gov/healthcarereform.”
Brew plenty of strong coffee.
