    Mr. Winger,

    Do you think that the HR3025 bill is a good thing?

    Is it useful to have “bipartisan” commissions?

    Wouldn’t it be better to have “multi-partisan” or “party-free” commissions?

    Interested in your thoughts. I don’t know all the issues.

    Thanks,
    Kimberly

    Yes, I would be far better to have nonpartisan commissions than bipartisan commissions.

    Spread the word . . . bi-partisan is partisan, too! :]
