Chapter 310: Preparing for the Show

Washington, inside the House of Representatives.

As an African-American, female Republican congressman, Rice is very eye-catching in her own right.

However, at the moment, she didn't bother at all, and the eyes of those reporters fell on her.

The woman's attention was all on the Democratic congressman of Maine, who had just finished speaking and walked back to his seat tremblingly.

"If you don't withdraw a proposal in public, it will be considered a sign of political irritability and immaturity, and you will end your political career. ”

"This Mr. Congressman, there is a high probability that he will tear the proposal to shreds and swallow it directly into his stomach, right?"

Thinking of the other party's clumsy speech just now, Rice stood up helplessly.

"It seems that in the end, it is up to me to be the villain myself. ”

She stood on the stage and cleared her throat, "Distinguished Speakers and Councillors, my proposal is to restrict online literature. ”

"From the beginning of the founding of the United States, through physical publishing, world famous books such as "Gone with the Wind", "Uncle Tom's Cabin", and "The Scarlet Letter" have emerged. ”

"This is undoubtedly a testament to the superiority of physical publishing. ”

Rice smiled gracefully at the audience, completely ignoring the vicious gaze of the Maine congressman.

"But the exaggerated style of online literature makes it difficult for this kind of work to appear in the United States. ”

"Moreover, the complex way of charging fees is not conducive to the work of the IRS. ”

As Rice spoke, he carefully avoided "underage influences", "classifications" and other areas that could cause substantial damage to the site.

Although the Democratic Party, which is backed by the media group, there is a high probability that it will not propose such an actual measure that will affect the financial owners behind it.

But the Republican Party needed the best-selling author, so she was more thoughtful.

After speaking, she walked back to her seat indifferently.

"In this way, I can get the support of conservatives, and after working with Mr. Bush, I can also keep my base. ”

But in a sense, he has become an ultra-conservative in the eyes of the public. ”

But...

It's all worth it!

Judging from this year's election, the Democratic Party's advantage is really too large.

If you want to save the Republican Party, you can only bring out a political star and look forward to the election in four years.

"Mr. Bush, you are the hope of the Republican Party!"

With this thought, she voted firmly in favor.

She was joined by a number of Republicans who had been in contact with the Texas governor, as well as some Democrats who had been forgotten by the Viacom group.

Of course, Goldman Sachs' influence cannot be ignored.

Most of the lawmakers from New York also voted in favor.

But the reporters don't know these inside stories.

And so, they witnessed a wonderful sight from the 70s, when Congress opened up to the media.

As the speaker announced the results of the vote, the "buzz" of the scene began to sound.

"Did it pass at one time? Didn't even insist on the stage where the person concerned came to the Congress for questioning?" Some reporters couldn't believe their ears.

"I remember that the last time the bill was passed was after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt announced that the United States would officially enter World War II, right?" and reporters, who have already recalled history.

"Big news! big news!"

"Hurry up, I'm going to report back to the club and make headlines. "More journalists, don't care about the meaning of this at all.

They were so excited that they almost threw the camera to the ground.

"It's just, it's so exciting!"

And unlike the elation of the reporters, the famous writer Mr. Stephen King, watching TV, tried to make a nonchalant look.

But his slightly trembling hands, as well as the remote control scattered into several pieces on the ground, indicated that his heart was not at peace.

"Even if Wang is not a representative of the Writers' Guild, he is just an ordinary writer. ”

"This kind of treatment is really too much!"

Although it will have to be voted on by the Senate and reviewed by the justices of the Supreme Court before the proposal can become law, and thus have a real impact on an industry.

But the passage of the House of Representatives undoubtedly proves that politicians are trying to interfere with the scope of writers' creations, so as to truly imprison the public mind!

Stephen King thought about it for a moment and made a decision.

Although, most of the writers disdain to deal with politicians, they belong to the group of people who have no political opinions in the true sense.

However, in the face of political oppression, writers were able to stand together.

Stephen King thought for a moment and was the first to call Neil Stephenson.

The writer's feature-length novel, "The Age of Diamonds", is one of the favorites for this year's Hugo Awards.

"Did you read the news?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, the king of best-selling books, made his own request.

"Can you withdraw your work first, I promise, the Writers Guild will elect you next year. ”

Not surprisingly, the writer on the other side readily agreed.

Then Stephen King called Joseph Keller.

If we say in the United States, he is the most influential writer.

In the world, Joseph Keller is the calling card of American literature.

The old gentleman has many friends and has served as a judge for the Hugo Prize, the Pulitzer Prize, and even the Nobel Prize in Literature.

And just as angry as Stephen King is the genius programmer Wozniak.

"Microsoft competes with Netscape and is exposed to monopoly, and its proposals can't even be reviewed!"

"The proposal on online literature was actually passed in one go?"

He ignored the broken computer under his feet and snatched his subordinate's computer directly.

Wozniak wanted to see how readers on Twitter reacted.

Now he needs to use all kinds of vulgar language to insult the US government with a group of people with the same views!

"One pass? It's just a panic!"

"Our King Arthur, can we never see it again?"

"Wang is just a writer, and the U.S. government is treating him as Marx!"

"Marx will not be banned once, he should be regarded as Hitler!"

"If the king is Hitler, then the site is ***)?"

"Haha, then we book lovers who often come here are the bewitched SS!"

"We're going to take SS action to protect what we love!"

"But I don't have the money to go to Washington..."

Wozniak looked at the rapidly growing messages, and finally calmed the anger in his heart.

"Sure enough, I wasn't the only one who couldn't understand what the politicians were trying to do. ”

He looked at the readers who thought about the protests in Washington, but because of the lack of travel expenses, and thought for a moment.

Then, the legendary hacker pulled out his phone and pressed a phone number.

"Larry Elson, interested in being Robin Hood in Silicon Valley?"
