DOING WHAT CONGRESS DIDN’T: Cincinnati Tea Partiers to hold “Read The Bill” Marathon:
Cincinnati Tea Party spokesman Justin Binik-Thomas did the math and figured out that reading all 2200 pages would mean spending 1 minute on each half page of arduous legalize, and that would be without taking any type of break at all — no restroom brakes, no meal breaks and no sleeping. So members will share the joy of reading the document in 15 minute increments so as not to fall asleep in the process. In the picture to the right, House Minority Whip Eric Cantor lends some visual aid regarding the size of the bill.
The groups will gather at the Crowne Plaza in Blue Ash beginning on May 14th at 6:00 p.m., and spend the next 72 hours reading the government healthcare takeover bill that was signed into law on March 23.
Making Congress look bad — though nothing anyone does in this regard can hold a candle to what Congress does to itself . . . .
