This is the email I sent to my Senators Mark Kelly and Sinema concerning McConnells poison pill to force the Democratic Senators to vote no on the Stimulus payments:
Hello Senator Sinema,
I am writing you to urge you to vote YES on the $2000 Stimulus and section 230 of the internet act. Senator McConnell is inserting a poison pill by adding the section 230 provision to the bill. I SAY CALL HIS BLUFF and vote for both. God knows the people of Arizona (and especially the rural residents of Arizona) need the $2000 Stimulus.
By voting to repeal section 230 it will only backfire on McConnell and the far right nutcases. No more Facebook conspiracy theories concerning Covid-19 and vaccinations. No more Twitter tantrums on how Biden "stole" the election. No more Parlor hate talk. No more comments on Breitbart, OANN and Fox where the comments just feed on each other about the hate for Democrats. I guarantee you that the right wing internet news sites will be the FIRST to cry foul and scream and holler until McConnell inserts it back. CALL McCONNELLS BLUFF, and vote yes.
Don't get me wrong - I am a firm believer in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. I grew up reading a newspaper whose slogan was "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Besides, I believe there is NO WAY that revoking section 230 is even legal. If McConnells bill is passed the suffering of the American people will be slightly alleviated by providing a $2000 stipend. As for section 230, I truly believe that no court will rule that you can sue an entity (Facebook, etc.) for something I say and post on the site. Thank you.
