I'm just shocked Fox News is covering it and making it look like a bad idea instead of praising it.

No worries, they've already moved on to telling their audience about the leftist, socialist, politically motivated conspiracy that got Trump indicted today.

His name is signed to it. Doesn't matter. If you're a constituent to him. Email and let him know you're disappointed in is actions.

Half the country thinks religious "freedom" laws that allow bigots to bully anything they don't like are a good idea. Of course he keeps getting re-elected.

Make it known that she will be unwelcome in your state and not voted for again. Even if this doesn't pass.. they'll try to pass a similar bill later.

But she is welcome, she is very welcome. Outside of the two big cities in NE she pretty much gets all the votes.

The only way to get your point across to these people is to get the people who they rely on for support to understand how bad it would be for them. Communicate that the effects of the Liconianians will have on their lives and the threats created under this bil to them.

Here's a template you can use if you can't be bothered to write your own.

Subject: Urgent: Please Oppose the Restrict Act - Protect Our Freedoms

Dear [Representative's Name],

I hope this email finds you in good health and high spirits. My name is [Your Name], and I am a concerned citizen residing in [Your City/Town], [Your State]. I am writing to you today to express my deep concern regarding the Restrict Act, which is currently under consideration. I implore you not to support this legislation and to actively oppose it to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of our citizens.

The Restrict Act, as it stands, presents a number of troubling implications for our society:

Infringement on Privacy: The Act would grant extensive surveillance powers to government agencies, eroding the privacy rights of millions of Americans. This sets a dangerous precedent, as it further encroaches upon our Fourth Amendment rights.

Suppression of Free Speech: The broad scope of the legislation may lead to the suppression of free speech and expression, both online and offline. The Act's vague language could be interpreted in ways that stifle dissenting opinions and penalize lawful protest, undermining our First Amendment rights.

Disproportionate Impact on Marginalized Communities: The Restrict Act is likely to disproportionately affect marginalized communities, who have historically been subjected to greater scrutiny and surveillance. This would further perpetuate social inequity and injustice in our society.

Misallocation of Resources: The resources allocated to enforce the Restrict Act could be better spent addressing pressing issues in our state, such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. These areas are in dire need of attention and funding, and would benefit our citizens far more than the implementation of a repressive law.

I strongly urge you to take these concerns into account and to stand up for the rights and freedoms of your constituents by opposing the Restrict Act. As an elected representative, your primary duty is to protect and uphold the best interests of the people you serve. By opposing this legislation, you would be demonstrating a commitment to preserving the democratic values that make our nation great.

Sincerely,

[Your Full Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Your Email Address] [Your Phone Number]
