H.R.3687

This is a very recent update to a very old issue, brought to our attention by our old friend, BCSS (the update, not the issue). Silly, silly, silly. Naturally, it’d have to be my first entry on the House of Representatives that puts me over the top on those elementary school Internet filters. If this isn’t entertainment enough, there’s so much more out there. Check it.
