Oklahoma is attempting to pass a bill that would ban explicit romance novels. Authors, narrators, and sellers could all face fines of up to $100,000 and up to 10 years in jail for each instance.
If you live in OK, call your representative and tell them this bill should not be allowed to pass.
This is likely a test case. Republicans will try to pass it in OK and if it passes other states will likely try to pass similar laws.

Lawmakers in at least nine states have introduced measures to try to chip away at same-sex couples’ right to marry.
Five of the measures, including one introduced Tuesday in Michigan, urge the Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which granted same-sex couples nationwide the right to marry.
State Rep. Josh Schriver, a Republican elected in November 2022, introduced the marriage resolution in Michigan, saying in a statement on social media that the Obergefell ruling “is at odds with the sanctity of marriage, the Michigan Constitution and principles upon which the country was established.”

Al Green protested against a tyrannical man. That man was trying to take away the Healthcare of millions of people and Al Green was the one Democrat who cared enough to do something and make a stand.
For that, he was censured. What's worse is some of his own party voted with Republicans to censure him. Some of his own party didn't have the guts or morals to stand up for what's right.
Is someone on this list your representative? Call them. Tell them how disappointed you are. How angry you are that they sided against people. Against healthcare. Against the last few democratic representatives willing to make a stand.
