ReadtheBill.org launches "Mystery Busters."

Washington - ReadtheBill.org today announced the launch of the Mystery Busters initiative and urged the US House of Representatives to reject four bills scheduled for floor action this week, saying there was inadequate time to read the four "mystery bills".

The group named the supplemental appropriations conference report the "Mystery Bill of the Week."

"Let's put this mystery meat on the Internet for 72 hours and let the taxpayers give it a sniff."
