Washington needs to change the way it does business. That is why I held multiple press conferences demanding more transparency and openness in the way Congress operates. Both the "stimulus" bill and significant parts of the "cap and trade" bill were pushed through for a vote without Members of Congress, or the American people, having the chance to read the bills. That is why I signed onto legislation requiring that all bills be available online – at least 72 hours before a vote – and require committees to put bill text online within 24 hours of adoption.
