The U.S. House is set to vote on H.R. 984, which would effectively keep AFA and every other pro-family organization in America from providing you information on bills in Congress. Under H.R. 984, we would only be able to provide you information on a bill at a high cost and at great danger of being penalized by Congress.
To put it bluntly, members of Congress are tired of getting your e-mails and phone calls, and H.R. 984 is designed to keep information from you that might inspire you to call or write your representative.
The new Democratic Senate thinks that if it can keep you from getting information - which is what H.R. 984 would do - then its members will not be getting e-mails and phone calls from you.
Representatives favoring this bill are simply tired of hearing from you. That is the bottom line. They dont want to hear from you. They dont want you to be informed. They want to silence you. How? By simply keeping profamily groups from diseminating info to their members.

It has nothing to do with the Congress. The bill in question would require that all communication between "private parties" and members of the Executive Branch be documented. I think the concept is to cut down on the influence of lobbyists on the Executive.
The AFA interpretation is incorrect. This bill has nothing to do with communication between action groups such as the AFA and the citizens. This bill is trying to tie up the Executive in red tape. It is still a bad idea, but the AFA message is sensationalist and inaccurate.
