I can't believe this new bill they're trying to pass, it's just ridiculous! I mean, who even came up with this idea? It's gonna mess everything up, I just know it. And it's gonna affect me and my family in ways we can't even imagine. I heard that this bill is gonna make it harder for kids to do what they love, and that's just not right. We need to stand up against this and make sure it doesn't pass! #NoOn8788 Did you know that this bill also includes a provision that would limit the amount of time kids can spend playing outside? It's outrageous!
