Congress Establishes Bill Suggestion Hotline

WASHINGTON, DC—House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) announced Tuesday that a new hotline will allow average Americans the chance to suggest new bills to the 108th Congress. “Do you have a great idea for an amendment, a revolutionary new tax bill, or just a few riders, but don’t know how to turn it into law?” said Hastert at a press conference on the Capitol steps. “Call us at 1-900-NEW-BILL. We can help. Operators in the House and Senate are standing by.” Hastert added that calls are just $3.99 a minute up to the first 10 minutes.
