The short version is that the REINS Act is truly awful. The article explains why. I wrote my Senators to ask them to vote against it (it’s already passed the House). Senator Sullivan wrote back right away to say, “I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the REINS Act…” What did you say, Nita, about your Senator only writing to brag about doing things that you've begged him not to? It might be better now in Oregon. http://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/suspending-the-rules-how-congress-plans-to-undermine-public-safety
