This destruction of our fundamental patent system is an abomination. a longterm threat to the wellbeing of the American people. and it will benefit basically wealthy and powerful interests. an elite that has no loyalty to the United States or to our people. Our people have got to know that this is a threat to all of us. Our people need to unite. as we did on the fight against this immigration bill that would have been a disaster for our country and a disaster for ordinary Americans. we need to unite and we need to organize and we need to make sure that people in this body. in the House of Representatives. know that H.R. 1908 is something that is contrary to the interests of our country and is contrary to the interests of working people. And anyone voting for it. it wont be tolerated if thats the way people feel about it. Those advocating the "sledge hammer" approach to patent reform. allegedly addressing just small problems. but using a sledge hammer to fix those small problems. are. in reality. advocating a complete reconstruction. and I would suggest destruction. of our patent laws. If they really want to address specific problems. just like it was in the bill with the immigration. let them target those solutions instead of using a bulldozer in the name of knocking down a mole hill. Yes. we can make our patent system more efficient. We can make sure that those patent examiners are trained and well educated and that they know the system and that the system works faster and more efficiently.
