Only 85 members of Congress have signed the Responsible Healthcare Reform Pledge, promising to read the 1,018-page health care bill currently before Congress. From Pennsylvania, four Republicans -- Reps. Charlie Dent, Jim Gerlach, Joe Pitts and Todd Platts -- have signed the pledge.
What about the rest of Pennsylvania's 19-member Congressional delegation?
Are you surprised that not a single Democrat from Pennsylvania has signed the pledge? It wouldn't be the first time Democrats voted for something before reading it. They did the same thing for the $787 Billion "stimulus" bill and the Cap-and-Trade energy tax.
Let Freedom Ring, a free-market advocacy group headed by former Chester County Commissioner Colin Hanna, has set up a Web site where members of Congress can sign a pledge to read health care reform legislation before voting on it.
