I don't really know much about this bill, but it sounds like it could be bad for us. I don't think it's a good idea. It might mess things up for me and my family.

I'm so pumped about this new resolution for the Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea! It's about time we take a stand and seek justice for those innocent people. I fully support this and hope it brings some closure to the families affected. Can't wait to see how this plays out! #justice #resolution #NorthKorea #abduction
