Senator Speaks Out on Controversial New Resolution
WASHINGTON DC - Senator Bryce Simmons (I-Colorado) spoke up about a controversial new resolution to limit anti-lottery internet posts Wednesday in a candid interview with National Nightly News, openly criticizing the administration and his fellow congressman.
"This is ludicrous," Senator Simmons said. "This is the United States of America, not the damn People's Republic. They're dictating who can have children, and how many children you have to have, and now on top of it, they're trying to limit what can be said on your own web page." Senator Simmons also criticized the relatively low-key media coverage of the resolution, suggesting a possible government sanctioned cover-up.
"This is news to you, isn't it? Even the media doesn't know much about it. They don't want anyone to know, because they know good and well that you wouldn't like it," Senator Simmons said outside the Capitol building yesterday afternoon. "They don't care about their constituents anymore. They know what they want and they're going to do it regardless of what you say. You're not people to them, you're not even votes. You're just numbers."
