VERDICT · MISLEADING
The statement describes an action (urging legislators to stop a preemption package) and a claim about 1,300-plus people signing a document, but without access to the specific document, the preemption package details, or verification of the signatories, the factual claim about the number and action cannot be confirmed or refuted with available information.
