Update on S.1 ~ The Potential Nightmare Continues

I just received this "grassroots email" from Focus on the Family:

"We've just learned that an amendment to S.1 has been approved that doubles the fines to $200,000 and adds prison sentences up to 10 years for each infraction of these egregious provisions.

S. 1 is expected to be voted on by the Senate this week, so it's imperative that you forward this message to your family and friends so they can sign the petition as well. Please keep calling your two senators as well, urging them to support the Bennett amendment to strip the unfair grassroots lobbying restrictions from S. 1. You can reach them through the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121."

Can you say, "Huh? $200,000 fines? For what? The right to know what our elected representatives are doing in Washington?" Have these people lost their minds?

Folks, please contact our U.S. Senators and express your desire to maintain our Constitutional rights.

Feel free to go to Focus on the Family Petitions as well.
