More sunshine needed

Its time for every voter regardless of party affiliation to let our elected representatives know we have had enough of hiding behind closed doors. We need a national sunshine law that requires all writing of bills to be open to the public and the press.

Why hasn't our President who promised C-Span coverage on all his legislation said a single word about the congressional shenanigans?

Why is the party in control so against publishing bills on line 72 hours before voting?

With all the modern communication tools available to provide the most open and interactive communication with our elected representatives in the history of our country, why are the hiding behind closed doors? Could it be they don't want us to know how the bills are really written and the bribes, I mean, concessions offered? Naw, I'm just an old cynic.
