Sorry for spamming you guys. Further notes should be sent to peace-makers.
A quick search on google will tell you this is considered a big deal

At any rate, it IS real, it IS being considered seriously, no doubt,
by morally conservative Congressman, and I would suggest at the least
signing the petition.
