demonstrate and go to jail for life
| This freaky puritanical wingnut of a politician, senator john minnis has put forward legislation here in oregon which may very well not pass. but the fact that he and it are being taken seriously enough to even be on the table is truly frightening. it’s short enough, so i’ll quote it in its entirety here: |  |
Senate Bill 742
