This bill is a joke! It's just a waste of time and money. Why should we care about political prisoners in other countries when we have our own problems to deal with? This is ridiculous! Did you know that this bill also calls for increased funding for international human rights organizations? What a joke!

It's important to recognize the contributions of global civil society in advancing these rights. Can't wait to see the positive impact this has on the world. #HumanRights #ReleasePoliticalPrisoners
