I emailed Dick Durbin and he told me that this legislation was "vitally important to America", and that he would be voting for it. I told him that I wouldn't be voting for him.

I did basically the same with Schumer, and even though I live in NY, Leahy, just because his name is at the top of the bill. But both Franken and Feingold, who are probably two of the best people in the senate, are supporting this. This is just a case of the government hating its people. We have to stop giving money to these "content" producers.
> vitally important to America

It is vitally important to America if by "America" he means a couple of media companies, their lobbyists and handful of senators who are on their payroll.

Also I like how instead of you telling him what is important for America he lectures you what is important.

How much does it take to bribe a senator? What are they paying him I wonder?
