FDA Requirements should be applied to congressional bills.

The house of representatives allowed the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to expire without a vote this week.  I didn't read the bill.  I don't know what's in it, and neither do you.  My concern is over the branding, if you will, of the bill itself.  It is the equivalent of buying a granola bar where the packaging on the front reads "Nature's Delight" and the back shows molecular diagrams to represent the ingredients.  We decided a long time ago that food manufacturers must provide certain nutritional information clearly and in many cases on the front of the label, think "0 grams trans fat, or 8 whole grains of wheat".

Someone needs to regulate how congressional bills are branded, and I think it will lead to better public discourse and a more knowledgeable and responsible voting populace.  Like a package of hot dogs, I would like to know how much beef it has, as well as 'pork and other fillers'.
