We should all be writing letters and emails to our congressmen about this.
It takes less than a minute to complete the whole thing.
Please retweet if you are on Twitter or any social media
It takes no real personal info - so please take a minute out of your day and help protect all involved
after what a tattle tail two of his sex workers became, yea Trump will have your back...
I thought sex workers are the best secret keepers, you guess wrong
and Dems support was overwhelming.
They don't give a shit about any of us.
Kamala is running for President, bet this won't affect her even a little bit. Most on these boards will support her.
The path to hell is paved with good intentions.
Trump had nothing to do with it but it has HUGE bipartisan support and he will sign.
Hillary would have signed it too.
Now, as tragic as all this is, it is pretty ironic.
We're all going to have to adapt.
Republicans, who out number the democrats in house 238 to 192 (5 vacancies), and senate 51–47 (2 independents) played a big role in passing it, if that’s to clarify the even numbers in bi-partisan support.
But it’s after the fact; both parties screwed everyone here against this bill that was passed.
but Dems did too, overwhelmingly, and one of their leaders, Dem-lib-Presidential nominee ? Kamala Harris led the charge!
None of the dumbasses here will remember that in 2018 or 2020 and will vote dem again!
Democrats screwing their own yet again. Kind of like what they have been doing to blacks for generations.
And the dumb-fucks on this board blame Trump!
And now, they want to petition Trump to veto, after trashing him on the boards . . . .
That's a whole lot of stupid
You can't make this shit up! LOL!!!!
The fact still remain that Trump signed it.He could have vetoed it considering the fact that he is in the same hobby as we do - Stormy Daniels and others. He should have sent it back to Congress and let them pass it with their 2/3 majority vote.But then again that would make him look guilty.Then again what difference does it make because everyone except his 35% support know that the women are being truthful.
Connect with your local pros if you can. We need each other right now. We have tons of brilliant women within our ranks who know how to fight this shit. If we all come together across the country and share notes, we will come up with a solid strategy. But we won’t win if we limit ourselves to sharing links. As a total homebody, I fucking hate that fact. We gotta push ourselves or we’re fucked.
If you’re a pro in NYC and want details on a meeting Friday, shoot me an email. Let’s do this, together!
Edit: If you email me, please do it from the address listed on your TER profile.

You make me wish I was NYC now rather than next month.

Trump still have veto powers meaning he can remove certain aspects of the law.
Of course a president who cares for the constitution will make a appeal to doing or not certain things. But since he has no care for the constitution nor any self interest in this law after what sex workers did to him, he won't challenge signing this bill into law.
That is the point
The President does not have line item veto authority...the whole bill needs to be vetoed, with him providing an explanation to Congress of his objections. Congress can then either vote to override the veto, pass a new bill that the President will sign, or let the matter drop. As of now, the President hasn't signed the bill yet (to the best of my knowledge), and he doesn't have to for the bill to pass...the bill becomes law after 10 days (Sunday's excepted) if he takes no action.
Sadly, the original Senate bill, SESTA, included language that criminalized advertisements for the true victims that our government is purporting to want to protect. Only ads where the lady was underage, or a victim of force, fraud, and/or coercion were targeted in that bill, which was nixed in favor of the the House version FOSTA, which targets voluntary participants as well. This allows the government to shut down practically all online advertising venues, opens the floodgates for an avalanche of lawsuits, and sets a precedent for further legislation targeting other things they find undesirable, such as so-called hate speech, and other political speech as well. Hopefully, the courts will come to the rescue, but I am not sanguine on this possibility.
Sine the DOJ has voiced objections that this bill is not only unconstitutional, but also not help in solving the problem of trafficking of involuntary and underaged victims, the President has a plausible reason to veto it, and force Congress to either fix it, or override him, and thereby own it.
Point of clarity. Trump does not have line item veto power. He can either sign the entire law, or veto the entire law.
Not because it will change their minds, but they will still realize that a significant percentage of the population opposes their bullshit.
Glad someone took the time to alert me to this petition.
Oh, and I just coughed up some dough for the ACLU to fight this.
Done!!
Ive posted this on another site too.
If we all post this on other escort boards and spread the word lets get this signed. It could make the difference we have been hoping for!
Signed the petition---let's make our voices heard!!

I'm not convinced he will sign it (unless I'm late and he did). With Google and Facebook in opposition...changes to internet/software carriers T and C...
I bet that he is sympathetic, forgives you all, and vetoes the bill led by Kamala Harris (D-California) and DEMOCRATS!
Grow up
The petition is a colossal waste of time, but if it makes you feel good knock yourself out . . .
Begging for your life isnt a good strategy. Instead gather money and sue. It seems to be one abolishtrafficking group that is starting this trend. Governments understand lawsuits.
Yeah I'm all for stopping child trafficking, but this is a bloody OUTRAGE!!! How will we find each other if all the awesome sites (such as TER ads for example) are taken down due to this blasted puritanical censorship!!! Even Craigslist personals??? People are going to be as outraged as we are, I'm sure. Hopefully, this madness ends soon. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!
There is still P411 or hopefully NS comes back like they said they are! =)
Good luck. The Dotard doesn't like to read so you should petition Fox and Friends.
