How can my representative be really productive in analyzing such a deal? Why all the barriers to understand the document?
I didn't find out the time it's supposedly be public for debate, but if you're doing a deal for the people, you want people to negotiate, not just accept the deal as it is, which, as history taught us, it will be a really tight timeframe for debate and it's approved few days before a major holiday when people are distracted.
Our representatives must have our [all citizens] best interest at heart. I don't see how this is in our best interest.
And I didn't event talked about the deal itself, only the procedure which seems flawed.
