The Sunlight Foundation is making it possible for the public to engage directly in the process of reading, writing, and modifying bills slated for vote in Congress. The Statesman has an article about the progress in that arena.

What made me laugh was this comment, from a Mr. Miller who is a past president of the American League of Lobbyists:

I don’t think the way you advocate is to put everything online and say, ‘All right American people, weigh in on that,’ because then what’s next? … Are we going to let the American people decide our defense policy, our trade policy, our immigration policy?

Haha! Hahahahaha! I can only imagine what Mr. Miller thinks of Larry Lessig’s change-congress.org project!
