Oh no! Gerard thinks my game about voting rights in American history is a bunch of political crap! This unverified purchaser would like to help you to save your money and save you from playing Votes for Women with your wife.
A weak review from a weak person.

Also, we enforce strict "cutoff dates" on bills that I have to imagine folks with big teams of lobbyists are fine with but present daunting challenges for smaller advocacy groups who can't adapt as quickly. It's just not an even playing field and for seemingly no good reason.

Like why would we EVER think we are better served by an overworked, rushed legislature? And how many great ideas and important testimonies never see the light because of time constraints? It feels kinda like an obvious problem with an easy solution to me....

Under no circumstances does it make sense to me for legislators/staff to have to rush when writing legislation. That just seems absurd to me, and it happens WAY more often than I think the public is aware of. It's like, almost totally avoidable, too.
