3. OMG, a whole room full of homegrown terrorists,

and the legislature is brave enough to show up? I have really been underrating their courage.

17. "We have over 350 private sector businesses from all over the state saying, 'please, we don't want

19. Everyone testifying is against this bill

Where are the people testifying who are for it?

Or do I not understand the process?
