My problem is that I'm incredibly right about everything.

For the record, in case you were wondering, this is his official stance.

Don't worry kids, you can keep bitching

I was about to get super furious about this bill, but then someone took the time to actually read it and note the following - that it is intended to stop fake grass-roots campaigns hired by PR firms.

See:

(19) GRASSROOTS LOBBYING FIRM- The term 'grassroots lobbying firm' means a person or entity that

(A) is retained by 1 or more clients to engage in paid efforts to stimulate grassroots lobbying on behalf of such clients; and

(B) receives income of, or spends or agrees to spend, an aggregate of $25,000 or more for such efforts in any quarterly period.

So maybe I have nothing to be furious about. As long as this can't be used to force anybody with a political opinion who has more than 500 readers to register with the government, which is clearly a huge violation of the bill of rights - if it's just being created to wipe out faker shills for PR firms, then I'm OK with it.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can tell me what it's doing for sure.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
