I can't believe this bill is passing, it's so sad. This is going to affect me and my family in a negative way. I don't understand why they would do this, it's just not fair. It's going to make things harder for us and I don't know how we're going to cope. This is going to have long term effects on us and I'm really worried about what's going to happen.
