Primary Josh Gottheimer. Write in anyone else against him. Vote against him or withhold voting at all in the general.

Do not signal that this is tolerated.

Please explain who this is! At the federal or state level? I don't know enough

He appears to be a New Jersey Rep, and the Democratic cosponsor of this bill.

Ohhh, well... Yikes. I think they hop on board without truly understanding what they're signing up for. OR worse yet, they understand and are OK with it.

Either way it's a problem.

If politicians are writing tech bills to deliberately undermine freedom: fire them.

If they're writing bad tech policy because they're not consulting the "good guys" first, such as the FSF, EFF, or OSI: also fire them.
