By signing such a document, are citizens saying, in effect, we accept this unconstitutional invasion of our rights as long as you Congressmen will allow it to happen to you and your families?

No.

I'm signing this document to shine light on the fact, for the low-information voters, that some pigs think they are more equal than others.

I want them on record, for the voting public to see, continuing to exempt themselves from the same conditions they impose on the public.

I want them voted out of office and this monstrosity repealed.

Thank you for clearly clarifying your intention. Hopefully, others will be as focused.

"What a fine reflection and consolation is it for a man, that he can be subjected to no laws which he does not make himself, or constitute some of his friends to make for him,—his father, brother, neighbor, friend, a man of his own rank, nearly of his own education, fortune, habits, passions, prejudices, one whose life and fortune and liberty are to be affected, like those of his constituents, by the laws he shall consent to for himself and them! What a satisfaction is it to reflect, that he can lie under the imputation of no guilt, be subjected to no punishment, lose none of his property, or the necessaries, conveniences, or ornaments of life, which indulgent Providence has showered around him, but by the judgment of his peers, his equals, his neighbors, men who know him and to whom he is known, who have no end to serve by punishing him, who wish to find him innocent, if charged with a crime, and are indifferent on which side the truth lies, if he disputes with his neighbor!" - John Adams, The Revolutionary Writings of John Adams, Selected and with a Foreword by C. Bradley Thompson (Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 2000). Chapter: No. iii
