The following Senators have cosponsored: Harriet Spanel, Darlene Fairley, Jeanne Kohl-Welles, Margarita Prentice, Karen Fraser, Debbie Regala, Claudia Kauffman and Adam Kline.

UPDATE: If you haven’t watched the youtube of Oemig please do so at the link. The guy’s delivery is extremely well done; not grating, not hysterical, not histrionic; just an extraordinary combination of words, body language, cadence, and emphasis. His heart and his mind are in the same place.
