    How would one go about requesting more reasonable parameters on all proposed bills in Congress?

    Such as limiting the number of pages and mandating a required amount of time for reading proposed bills before any vote can take place?

    Simple Read the 700 pages before Passing a Bill, but Leadership in Congress doesn't Listen.

    Start by contacting the office of your current representative with that idea. Push for a reply & follow up. Then try your two Senators.

    I am sure there are also some web groups that think similarly.
