Go forth and multiply (though I wish my twitter and Facebook and RSS feeds weren't 60% on the topic). I'll join you when it is likely (in my opinion) to achieve any meaningful result. And I hope I'm wrong and you all solve the problem before I feel the need to start caring.
I disagree with the bill. But:
1) I think it is unlikely to ever come to a vote in its current form, regardless of protest.
2) Regardless of changes to the individual chambers' bills, those charges are meaningless since committee can put them all back when the visibility is lower.
3) If it comes to a vote and passes, a veto is reasonably likely.
4) If somehow it isn't vetoed, I'm pretty confident it wouldn't survive judicial review. It's worse than all the people yammering on about having a good new year and "hey, did you know Jesus was a thing" a few weeks back.
So getting involved between 2 and 3 seems like a good compromise for my energies. And if all my (preferably quieter, I heard everybody well before their 63rd tweet on the topic and didn't need sixteen people giving me an identical tweetathon on which website slightly inconvenienced their customers) acquaintances accomplish their goals not only will they get the glow of accomplishment they'll get to look on me pityingly as the guy too lazy to matter.
Essentially, while I agree with the goal, 80% of the people I know online turned into annoying robocallers the day before an election. It's worse than all the yammering about having a happy new year and the "hey, did you know Jesus was a thing" stuff a few weeks back.
