Leonard Lance Goes Web .20 (no, not a typo)

Today, I delivered a copy of the proposed health care reform bill to the Mary Jacobs Memorial Library in Rocky Hill. It's my hope Seventh District residents will take the opportunity to read the 1,990 page measure prior to the expected vote in the House of Representatives this week.

Additionally, my office has also delivered copies of the 1,990 page health care legislation to several libraries throughout the Seventh Congressional District.

I don't understand why Lance would use e-mail to brag on dropping off paper copies at libraries via e-mail when the entire document is available online in multiple formats for anyone to read.

• Here's a copy you can print.
• Here's a copy in PDF format.(Warning, it's 1990 pages!)
• Here's the page with all the hyperlinks to different parts of the bill.

A more cynical person, and I'm pretty danged cynical, might think that Lance wants credit for distributing the bill while hoping people won't actually read the thing so the lies (death panels, anyone?) and misdirection (they'll destroy the economy!) from the right can continue to confuse and beffuddle the populace.

You know, someone cynical would think that.  I'm not saying I do, but you know ...
