Post Bills for Five Days Before Signing
When there is a bill that ends up on your desk as President, we the public will have five days to look online and find out what is in it before you sign it so that we know what our government is doing.

Why Is This Idea Important?

This idea is important because legislation is often rushed through the process without any sunlight. As the President has said, "Sunlight is the greatest disinfectant". It is also important that you keep the promises you made on the campaign trail.

This was your campaign promise President Obama, but it is not what happened with the Stimulus Bill or Omnibus Bill. Please keep your promises and post the completed Budget Bill online for Americans to read at least 5 days prior to signing. Thank you

Any bill/law signed by this usurper sitting in the Oval Office is illegal. Mr. Soetoro, his legal name, aka Obama is not an American Citizen as required by our Constitution, Article 2, Section 1. "Where is the Birth Certificate", "where are the adoption papers", and "where are the school records". The best evidence of fraud is by Mr. Soetoro who has spent over one million and half dollars with three law firms to deny and conceal these records from the American people. Our Republic cannot survive under this cult leader. Mr. Soetoro must be held accountable to the American people for his scam and fraud.

It still blows me away that the stimulous bill was posted (in a draft version with corrections marked all over it) only hours before it was to be voted on, and it was so "urgent" that it was voted on immediately. They spent less time putting together a trillion dollar plus bill than most people spend buying a house or car. That is NOT fiscal responsibility. Then we had the news from Obama that there was "no pork in the bill" which later (after people had the time to check it through) came out as over 900 "special items". Give Americans the five days you promised, there are millions of smart people who can read through and check out what no senators or representatives checked out before they voted for the bill.

Obama has proven himself a bald faced liar. "No more secrecy" ??? Why was the spendiong boondoggle ramed through without the opportunity to even read it? Why are you cowering from revealing your birth certificate. Why do you favor Muslims over Christians, and over America in general? You are NOT my president Obama. You are a lying corrupt bastard, and nothing more.
