I like that you post bills to your blog for all of us to peruse, I actually enjoy reading through these to look for "junk". But one of the points of representative democracy is that I shouldn't feel obligated to. That's why I have someone in D.C. representing me, I have my own job. I expect that representative to work towards my best interests, and to translate these kinds of bills to me in laymen's terms when I ask "but what does that mean for me?". I wouldn't go to the Doctor and ask him to hand me my labs to diagnose myself, why would I go to my representative and ask for the bill their about to vote on. In other words, if everyone should feel obligated to look at these bills, why bother with a representative?
