WashingtonWatch.com: Over 100,000 Comments on One Bill

by on February 11, 2010 · 4 comments

It’s not the highest-toned debate the world of public policy has ever seen, but the WashingtonWatch.com discussion on Public Law 111-92, the Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2009, has now reached over 100,000 comments.

I’ve discussed the astounding level of commentary—and all the efforts to keep it civil—in a post on the WashingtonWatch.com blog.

    Incredible – people are clearly engaged in the Gov 2.0 area even if they don't know its' got a name.

    I wonder what would happen if 10 million citizens voted no on a bill and Congress voted yes?

    Just to much gov’t handouts, congress has no backbone to solve problems, only blame someone else.
