Below is the Roll Call vote on the amendment. Passage of that amendment killed the bill, as it was intended to do. Sometimes you need to lose in order to identify the real enemy. This was one of those times.

Finally, as always, we never quit. The bill will be filed again next year and as many years as it takes to pass it. Your rights are not just being violated, they are being denied.
