That was very well put. This Bill will not be passed anytime in the foreseeable future, but the fact that thousands upon thousands of letters against it were written and received will play a role. It will send a message to both the Republicans and their "equal" (cough, choke, gasp) counterparts. It will tell the Republicans that they have some support from the community against it, and it will tell the Democrats that they now have another future bargaining tool that they will likely use over and over again, as a "negotiable' add-on to other Bills they may have. In other words, don't be surprised to see this bill, in one form or another, over and over and over again. Don't let that keep you from writing letters against it over and over and over again, either!
Take care,
-Chris
