I support the spirit and the intent of this amendment. I am concerned that New York City has not effectively advocated for these funds...will the gentleman work with me to pressure New York City to ensure that this agreement is signed? The concern I have is that if it is not signed, it is entirely possible that the bureaucracy at the Department of Homeland Security will take the money meant for New York and send it elsewhere.

We believe that to be true. That oftentimes you will see small companies that have breakthrough technologies, as soon as they are ready to go to market, they are targeted by larger competitors in the post-grant review process at the PTO.
Well, it`s a huge win and also well timed. We are 95 days away from the midterm elections, tough environment for Democrats.
The reality is out there that we all need to guard against this authoritarian effort, that is yes, born out of the Republican Party, unfortunately, but it is.
Both of these races will test this proposition, do Democratic voters want purity and ideology on the left? Or do they want pragmatism and winnability near the center?
