Petition posted on the White House Web site

If you ever saw his campaign speech where Obama promised the most transparent administration in history, then you may also be angered by his signature on recent bills that were passed in secrecy and with an assortment of egregious particulars hidden in the pages. One such bill - The Defense Authorization Act - passed the end of 2011 was called by Forbes Magazine the most dangerous assault on American Civil liberties in history. I'm inviting you to please read a petition posted on the White House Web site, and if you agree with the petition, please do 2 things: Sign it and pass it to as many people as you can. We need 25,000 signatures.

Please clarify your petition. The petition reads:

"Promised when a bill came to his desk that the American people would have 5 days to examine the bill, before he signed it." Thus this petition calls for repeal of each bill where the American people did not receive 5 days to examine a bill and learn the contents, including Patent Reform (HR 1249) Health care Reform (HR 3962); and The National Defense Act (HR 1540)."






Bill 1540 was presented to Obama on Dec. 21 and was signed on Dec. 31. This falls outside of the five day examination period outlined in the petition. I was certainly against this bill, but it does not meet the petition's criteria. Can you also give the number (or percentage) of bills that did not have this 5 day examination period? A large percentage will certainly make the case.

Total gimmick.
