Did a little research on our friend and protector; Mr. Lautenberg- this isn't the first time he introduced this type of legislation. It was voted down before, but I would urge every one to send the e-mails to your Senators. I doubt I will hear back from my Bozo Senators, but we have to make sure they hear our voices.
As a side note,a few years ago, our buddy Frank Lautenberg was injured in a skiing accident while wearing a helmet and received brain surgery (maybe this explains Lautenberg).
