"Mr. President, I cannot in good conscience vote in support of a bill that I have not had time to read, particularly one that had a 300 page amendment tacked onto it last night after we left session. Additionally, the 3 hours of debate allowed by the House Speaker is not enough to explore the potential ramifications of a bill this large and complex. This process is too important to be rushed, and too dangerous if we get something wrong. My constituents deserve better government than this. Therefore I have no choice but to vote against this cap and trade package."
Just remember, every representative who votes for this bill does so without ever having read it.
This Is All That Needs To Be Said

I second. I don't care what the content of the bill or whether it favors my own political views, if they don't have time to read them, evaluate them and give them due consideration, they are failing at their jobs. Hiring speed readers doesn't fix the problem.
They should use crowd sourcing to let joe public tear through the bill and raise the issues.

Exactly. I don't care what the bill covers or who proposed it. if there's not adequate time to read digest and debate, there should be no vote.
Who knows what got slipped into this monstrosity at 3AM?
