There is additional current evidence that we need to replace the ten representatives that have been selected by WWY (We’re Watching You) as targets for replacement in 2010.
All ten are following the party line – in direct opposition to the interests of American citizens. They are doing exactly what Nancy Pelosi wants them to do – bury H.Res. 554 which calls for posting all bills online 72 hrs. before voting.
This was a breakthrough resolution that could literally change the way that legislation passes through the US House of Representatives. House Resolution 554 would amend the House Rules to require that all non-emergency legislation be posted on the Internet for 72 hours before it could be considered on the House floor.
However, H. Res. 554 is being bottled up by Speaker Pelosi. She won’t allow it to come to a vote. Fortunately, there’s a way around this impasse. It’s called a Discharge Petition. If 218 House Members (a majority of the 435 Representatives) sign a Discharge Petition for House Resolution 554, the Resolution will be brought to the House floor for consideration. Then each representative would be on the record for his/her vote on the resolution – their position exposed for the public to see.
Here is the dirty little secret: NONE of the “WWY Ten” has signed the Discharge Petition. One hundred eighty-two (182) representatives have signed the petition, only 36 more need to sign it to have the resolution brought before the House.
The “WWY Ten” are, by their refusal to sign the petition, effectively voting AGAINST allowing American taxpayers to see what our legislators are doing with OUR MONEY.

Transparency, my arse.
