If you want a quick summary of the issue, here is a link to a very brief (3 minute) video I made about it:

Please watch the video, or just click the link, because the more views it gets, the more exposure this issue and this petition will receive. Thank you.

FIRST OF ALL: I WANT EVERYONE READING THIS AND EVEN CONSIDERING SIGNING THIS PETITION TO DO THE RESEARCH FOR THEMSELVES, BECAUSE I AM NOT ABOUT PUSHING IDEAS ON PEOPLE, I AM ABOUT FREE-THINKING. HERE IS THE LINK TO THE BILL IN QUESTION:  (*correction this is not from whitehouse.gov as stated prior. I messed up and switched up my links, but regardless, it is the correct and accurate version of the bill. I will try to find a WHITEHOUSE.GOV link of the same bill)

SECONDLY: THIS BILL, LIKE JUST ABOUT EVERY BILL THAT MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE SENATE, IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO READ AND COMPREHEND. IT IS LEGAL-SPEAK, RIDDLES, AND BASICALLY BULLSHIT TO MAKE IT PURPOSELY DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND. THEREFOR, IF YOU NEED HELP UNDERSTANDING WHAT THIS BILL MEANS, I WILL PROVIDE MY EMAIL ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, AND IF YOU LIKE, I WILL POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR A THIRD PARTY OPINION (SUCH AS A LAWYER, OF YOUR CHOICE, WHO CAN INTERRUPT THE BILL FOR YOU.

THIRD AND FINAL: THIS IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF LEGISLATION PUT BEFORE SENATE FOR A VOTE IN THE PAST 90+ YEARS. PLEASE, PLEASE, IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY, IF YOU WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO GROW UP WITH THE KIND OF AMERICA YOU HAD, AND NOT A POLICE STATE, TAKE THE TIME TO RESEARCH THIS BILL AND HELP PUT IT TO A STOP BEFORE WE MAKE PRESIDENTS INTO DICTATORS. *SIDE NOTE*- COMPARE THIS BILL TO AUGUSTUS (OCTAVIAN) CEASAR'S POLICY IN ROME WHEN HE ESSENTIALLY DISSOLVED THE SENATE INTO A FORMALITY OF FIGUREHEADS WITH NO REAL POWER. THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TWO CASES ARE EERIE (ONE EX: BOTH DONE UNDER THE PRETENSE OF "PROTECTING THE PEOPLE")
