So first it is important to note that the Democrats always cheat. They are mean and nasty about it to.
Senator Marco Rubio introduced a bill back in October,2021 to change the name of a courthouse and federal building in Tallahassee, Florida to “Joseph Woodrow Hatchett United States Courthouse and Federal Building”.
That bill was sent to the house where it passed on May 18th, 2022. It had not made it back to the floor of the Senate for a vote.
So an amendment was offered and accepted. This amendment gutted the entire bill and replaced it with the monstrosity that is the “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act”.
I expect that shortly after Joe signs this we will see court cases filed. I’m hoping that those filing go for nation wide injunctions. This is likely the next battle in our rights as guaranteed under the second amendment.
You have called your Representative and let them know your opinion on the matter? It might not feel like it makes any difference but if you don’t try it will fail.

Sadly, the yellow stain republicans who voted for it are either retiring or not up for reelection until 2026. And most Americans have the memory of kiddysniffer Joe Biden. Calling is about as useful as voting.
Aye we’ve called, written emails, and been denied/shuffled around for a face to face meeting.
But ya know what? Those things are all easy to do and you dont even have to get out of the AC to do them.
Keep on keeping on.
Murkowski is a senator for Alaska not Alabama.
Fixed. Typo out of the fingers. Thank you for catching my error.
