That's called a dictatorship!
That's called a dictatorship!I vote to get rid of them ALL, and get some guys that legislate for the good of the COUNTRY as a unit!...hmmm, that is likely to leave us without a government, wouldn't it?
From what I have read about this bill it may do just the opposite of what it pretends to do. There is a section, #3 I think, which would give government the right to ban any photography anywhere and a photog would have to go to court in advance to take photos there.
Gert a copy of the bill and sit your behind down and read it and then write your congressperson and tell them what you think. Grazing the Internet will not cut it.
Wouldn't it be neat if we had an extended period of say... 8 years, when Congress would start at the last bill passed and working backwards, and turned their pencils end for end, and erased each word on the bill, and sent it to the President, who would then erase the presidential signature?
If they worked real hard, they could erase all bills for the last 115 years. That ought to about do it.
The Ansel Adams act was initiated by a Republican. You can be sure the Democrats will force modifications that render the bill of far less value to the photographer than originally intended. After all, the Republicans did the same thing to the Democratic bill for medical coverage, even though it was initially modelled after Republican legislation at the state level, which rendered the federal bill of far less value to you and I than originally intended.
Neither side passes what is best for the citizenry...reminds me of the Communist party of the USSR, in that regard. That is because getting re-elected is what is tantamount.
We can be sure that the Republicans, now in control of both houses of Congress, will try to do their part to block Presidential desires, as long as they can figure out a way to make that happen without irritating the citizenry when it is reelection time. But the citizenry has poor memories, that is why they voted more Republicans in, to now control both houses, in spite of the fact the party line politics had already stopped significant progress in most areas. Now progress will be completely stopped, as the two houses fight the president.

If you're a registered voter do the right thing. Don't cry bitch and moan that "I am sure that the do nothing Congress, nothing will be done". Participate dammit. Voter lethargy and apathy are major contributors to the clusterfuck that is the US Congress. Contact your representatives and make them do their job under threat of job loss.
Go Dead Link Removed and find the information needed to contact them if you don't know. DO IT. I've done the work for you now do your duty.
Funny thousands of French are in the streets today exercising their "rights" yet so often they're called wimps by Americans who sit and cry in their beer. Get offa yer asses and do something.
BTW I admire the French citizens. Don't agree with their gub'ment however it matters not.
Just have the same rights of gun owners!

OK, Captain Comprehension. Read your first through fourth sentences back to yourself. They are all about voting. Your fourth sentence is a nod to direct contact with representatives. How can I not take this to be a pro-voting screed?
Regarding assumptions about whether APUG members vote. If all you have to offer is statistics that cover an unqualified and nationwide scope, you are not offering any evidence that this particular population does not vote. Show me a poll of APUG users who volunteer that they are not registered and then I will grant that you are not making assumptions.
Is that who wrote that? "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here" is on a sign which is on my darkroom door. I couldn't find the one which says: "keep this door closed so all the dark won't leak out".........Regards!I am sure that the do nothing Congress, nothing will be done. Congress and common sense parted company under partisan politics in the last decade and Dante's description of the sign over Hell applies well.
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: Inferno, "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate", or "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_Alighieri
The terrorists have been complaining about being called photographers and that embarrasses them. However terrorists still suffer with the monicker of photographer. Politicians and legislators still cannot get it right, just Far Right.
