You cant represent people if you can hide your positions from them. If this Chamber Is truly going to be the peoples house. the key issues have to come up for debate and vote. so the people can know where their lawmakers stand. As Sam Rayburn once said: "I think this House should be allowed on great measures to work its will." On this score. the majority party has let the people down. Key initiatives. such as enterprise zones and immigration reform remain frozen in committee. As the rules stand now. Members can petition to discharge a committee from consideration of a bill.
