You forgot to mention the hidden parts, the paragraphs that hamstring the rule of law. Laws that prevent the judges from protecting the Constitution and neutering their subpoena power

Senators, please rewrite and delete these hidden passages.

You stated our situation very well Mark. This is America at the crossroads again. The oligarchs lied and maneuvered hard and long to get US back to immorality by distracting us with color, gender, etc., and again it worked and why did they do it so a few can have it all as the many serves those few.

"Now is the time to demand our country back." Since we don't have an instrument for that, how about a discussion about how we can be effective at demanding anything?

How come you are a treasure trove of quotes? And you have such good command of English? I look forward to what you write regardless of the subject, where just seeing how you put words together always is a treat!

We do have the power. With our voice—and with our vote.

And now is the time to use both.

Let every elected official hear this, loud and clear: If you vote for this bill, you will not win another term. You may not believe it yet. You may think the outrage will pass. But when your constituents start to feel the pain—and they will—it will be too late for you.

This isn’t just politics. This is people’s lives. Their health. Their future. Their kids’ education. Their dignity.

You’ve been warned.

Yes and. In the abstract we can say this, but I'm looking for the concrete, and faster than the next election as each day brings us closer to the fast-moving overshoot that could see the end of industrialized civilization. "Let every elected official hear this" is a plea and not a delivery.
