Nothing has changed Owl so there really isnt any more pressure on the programs. What happened was a very progressive bill presented before the House of Representatives didnt pass muster.
There will be more bills authored and presented and the fight is far from being lost. Actually the vote in the house was TIED so we have tipped the scales at least 50% of the way towards freedom. Thats a major leap forward and it points the way to the future. Its only a matter of time.
After the Elections we should have a more favorable administration coming in the White House and hopefully the forces of good can win back enough seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives to effect real changes in this country. We all have to stay resolute on making that happen.
