Food safety bill falls short of passing by six votes

Was this the right choice for the American public?

Yes I believe it was based on this...

On Wednesday night, House leaders rescheduled the bill for another vote on Thursday; this time, under rules requiring only majority approval for passage.

The measure was being rewritten almost to the last minute Wednesday, and skeptics complained that few lawmakers had a chance to read it.

More examples of the failures of our current system. Take a vote on a bill that no one has read. If that vote failed just lower the standards to get it passed and try again.
