I can't believe this bill is even being considered! It's just not right, and it's going to cause so many problems for us. I don't understand why they would do this. It's going to impact us in ways we can't even imagine. This is just wrong. Did you know that this bill has been in the works for years, but it's only now gaining traction? It's crazy how things work in politics.
