What's actually interesting about this is that I just came to the realization that the entire thing might have indeed been my idea, or at least I was partly if not largely responsible for it. How so? Well a few weeks back I was at a local event with America's Future Foundation, and Rep Lynn was there. I stood up in front of the crowd and urged her to introduce something of this nature. And what do you know? Today she did! I'm sure that there were others who were also involved but I can't help but to think that I had a part in this.
