This bill is in the first step of the legislative process. Introduced bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise them before they go to general debate.

CONTACT YOUR SENATORS:

1.   Let them know that you appreciate the freedom our servicemembers provide and that our servicemembers should no longer be denied a Constitutional right (First Amendment) that is granted to every citizen, incarcerated criminal and illegal immigrant.

2.   Ask them to cosponsor the bill. A large number of cosponsors will indicate a high level of interest and will encourage the House and Senate to bring the issue to a vote sooner.
