NARRATOR: People say a lot of crazy and misleading things about important pieces of legislation on Capitol Hill.

JOHN MCCAIN: ObamaCare!!
MICHELE BACHMAN: …completely socialized medicine…
SARAH PALIN: Death Panels
CHUCK GRASSLEY: you’re gonna pull the plug on grandma’!
MICHELE BACHMAN: …government take over, government decision making…

TROY NEWMAN: …it’s all about abortion, it’s all about Eugenics…
PAUL BROUN: …allowing people to have quality health care at an affordable price is gonna kill people.

NARRATOR: But Main Street Insider is here to change that with our 90 Second Summaries, released Mondays at MainStreetInsider.org

In 90 seconds we summarize what a piece of legislation is all about, why the bill’s sponsors feel we need it, what the legislation would actually do, and what supporters and opponents are saying; providing folks on Main Street and Capitol Hill insiders alike an efficient look at a bill in Congress.

After that, ifyou still need or want to become more informed about any piece of legislation, we also provide a one-page, in-depth overview with links to the full text and additional sources.

So when learning about our congress, do you want this?

GLENN BECK: Get a damn job! That’s the problem with government welfare and everything else. Get a damn job!

NARRATOR: Or this…

DEBBIE STABENOW: Our Bill does two things, Mr President, to help people who have been out of work the longest.

NARRATOR: So join us for New 90 Second Summaries, Mondays at MainStreetInsider.org
