    OK, I signed it, now what happens? Will our Representatives ever see this?
    I'm not knocking your efforts; I just want to make sure that people know that it is NO substitute for sending emails, writing letters, making phone calls, and showing up for the hearings.

    Make sure that we keep pressure on our Representatives with all the tools we have available to us.

    With over 5000 members here if even half signed the petition + called or e-mailed the senate I don't think this bill would make it out of commitee.
