| Message | You may think this is a unreasonable bill but just hear me out. If someone post something about you, truth or lie, you may not like it posted. If it is true you still might not want other people to know about it. |

| Message | It is true you may not like it posted but that doesn't mean that it isn't true. What if there was a sex scandle concerning a powerful senator? Would that person be able to block those true stories? |

| Random quote: "I worked at a factory owned by Germans, at coal pits owned by Frenchmen, and at a chemical plant owned by Belgians. There I discovered something about capitalists. They are all alike, whatever the nationality. All they wanted from me was the most work for the least money that kept me alive. So I became a communist." - Nikita Khrushchev |
