“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

I see nothing in the House Republican stance which would indicate any inclination to concern themselves with “deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…” by their continued party line support for a process which denies citizens our right to know what is taking place, and whether our “representatives” are voting in sub committee actions in ways which we find acceptable, and meeting of our approval.

How hard can it be to just record the votes?
