Greg Walden: Time for transparency in Congress


10/1/2009 - Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) talks with Greta Van Susteren about the discharge petition to force a vote on H. Res. 554, which would give the press, public, and members of Congress 72 hours to read and understand legislation before it's voted on. Track the progress of the petition at www.wethepeoplecanread.org.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: At this writing, Rep. Walden is the only congressman from Oregon who has signed H. Res. 554. Rep. DeFazio is a co-sponsor but has not signed it. Please check www.wethepeoplecanread.org and make calls to Oregon's representatives and urge them to sign the petition. You can find contact information under Resources on this site.
