    It passed 91-3. Our representatives are ignorant dinosaurs who don’t understand the internet or how it works. I already contacted both my senators. I plan to contact my house members before they make this abomination into a law. I encourage everyone to do the same.

      When is it next being acted on? I’d like to actually mail a physical letter explaining my concerns. Maybe they’d like it since they’re dinosaurs.
