Remember, you can write a lot or just a couple of lines. The key thing is to sound like you! Copies will be ruthlessly eliminated by the moderators. Petitions for these actions aren’t useful, as, no matter how many names are attached, the government just counts them as one (1).

Action #1 – Comment to oppose the spread of “Expedited Removal”.

One thought on “Mon 9/23: The Resistance strikes back! – Two comments for this evening!

  1. I strongly oppose this rule, which is an out-and-our attack on the poor and low-mid income individuals. No sound rationale has been provided. Harm would be considerable and savings minimal. This is ill-conceived and deliberately cruel policy.
