Honor In Office is a 2011 documentary film written and directed by Jedd Rigney, produced and narrated by Jerrol LeBaron. The film explores what it takes for an average citizen, Jerrol LeBaron, frustrated with politics-as-usual and legislators signing into law bills that they have never actually read, getting a bill introduced at the states level that requires all legislators sign an oath that they have read the bill before they are allowed to vote on it.
Film content
editIn this often humorous journey, Jerrol takes off from his home in Southern California, traveling to North Dakota to present his bill to legislators, business people and media. Jerrol's discussions with various people – include actor Ed Begley, Jr., the ACLU's Legislative Director Laura Murphy and Ted Baehr - American media critic and Chairman of the Christian Film and Television Commission – he wants to know their feelings on his proposed requirement for requiring legislators attest to having read the legislation they are about to sign.
