HR 4682-"Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2006."








I am a subscriber to an E-letter from downsizedc.org and occasionally share some thoughts and ideas on my blog from those E-letters.
This is totally pathetic. This shows to prove that taking away freedoms is a bi-partisan agenda. HR 4682 is an effort by Nancy Pelosi to weaken all grassroots organizations. Along with Ralph Nader, who I though supported grassroots venues, is also supporting this legislation.
This is something unbelievable and out of the pages of an urban myth.
The bill is HR 4682. It's called the supported by Public Citizen "Honest Leadership and Open
Government Act of 2006." It was co-written by Nancy Pelosi. This is legislation that would limit small grassroots organizations like downsizedc.org
but leave big special interest lobbying firms exempt.
The legislation will be re-introduced through Congress as part of an ethics reform campaign. You can look at it by going to
www.thomas.loc.gov and typing in 4682 which is the bill number.
Section 204(b)(2) serves no other purpose than to regulate small
grassroots organizations, while leaving the direct lobbying
of big special interests exempt from these regulations.

This is the sign of intrusive government to regulate the "grassroots organizations" of American citizens.
My opinion this is legislation to turn people to zombies and just go along with big government and their intrusive decisions. This is you tax dollars at work and it is just restricting people rights, just because these grassroots organizations are "annoying" to the lawmakers in congress.
This relates to something I watched on Glenn Beck's show on CNN Headline News a few months back. I do not always agree with Glenn Beck or his political stances, but when he stated that "Politicians only want to serve their party." Mr. Beck was 100% on the money. This is just another example of proof! Ms. Pelosi is an example, by not listening to the people who elected her and only listening to large lobbying to promote their personal agendas. I used to actually support some of the things Public Citizen used to promote, but I am re-thinking this stance because of this bill. I encourage everyone to write to Public Citizen and express their disapproval of this bill.
