City Island Images expects the federal shield bill, also known as the Free Flow of Information Act (S. 987), to be brought to the Senate floor very soon. But before it can be brought to the floor, we need to be sure that the bipartisan bill has more than 60 votes in order to overcome any potential filibuster. Therefore, we're asking our thousands of visitors to contact their senators and ask if they support S. 987, as well as to encourage them to vote YES on S. 987.

Bad friends will look beyond what you like, evade and avoid these, then responds aggressively whenever they find something they dislike.
