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.

They may not know how the interet works but they know exactly how manufactured hysteria works. Whenever the government says "Think of the children", they're trying to fool and exploit you. They don't give a fuck about your children. Your children can't vote.

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.

Send it certified with signature required, it costs around $4 but they'll really like that.

And of the 3 who voted against it, 2 were Republican and 1 was a Democrat.

Start voting in judges that believe in freedom at the local and state levels.

The way things are, only the courts can decide.
