I don't think this bill is good for us. It could make things more complicated. How will this affect our country in the long run?

I am deeply concerned about the implications of this bill on our political system. It is troubling to think about the potential foreign influence in our lobbying efforts. How will this bill impact the way decisions are made in Washington? What are the long term effects of this legislation on our democracy?
