This bill was introduced by Dianne Feinstein on December 14th, and is now at the Committee on the Judiciary for review.
Please contact Congressional members and demand that they support and vote for this bill. Put the pressure on in the way that I know that DU can!

(8,244 posts)3. I'll contact them.
I don't see why I should have to on this issue though.
They should be able to figure this out for themselves. This is an obvious vote. If a congressperson needs me to call them to tell them how to vote on this, then I'm not sure that they deserve to be in Congress.

It seems like an easy vote, but you know some congress critters think they can just play games. Let's let them know we are watching this one.

(8,571 posts)13. I'm really surprised that this thread keeps falling
with all the upset over the NDAA, I really thought that everyone here would be interested in calling Congress to support this bill like me.
Maybe it's just not popping up at the right time, with more traffic on the site
