Comment: One major objective of the terrorists we face is to take away our freedoms and have the government dictate every aspect of our lives. Delegates Moe, Frush, Gaines, Griffith, Hubbard, Menes, and Vaughn, by sponsoring this bill, seem to have a similar objective and are helping to give the terrorists what they want. Why?
