| WRITE NOW. YOU DON'T REALIZE HOW SERIOUS THIS IS. I hope nobody here is taking the passive approach and saying "This won't pass, I won't bother writing my senator".. or "It won't be that bad.."
You'd like that to be true, but I'm afraid in this day and age, you'll find yourself dead wrong. The pendulum has swung WAY FAR to one direction. It's time to start it on it's reverse course..
PLEASE notify your representatives NOW and OFTEN. Take a few seconds out of your busy schedule and do it, NOW! Follow these steps (they'd take an hour at the MOST) and you can rest assured that YOU did what you could to stop this, if it passes or not..
Start here by writing your representatives. REMEMBER! Be polite, mature, concise, and logical! Do NOT be obscene or belligerant!!:

Next, notify the "honorable" Mr. Hollings. Be polite, because the Senators' clerks have the right to DISCARD threatening, obscene, or any other material they deem "irrelevant." Mr. Hollings will never see it. Again, do NOT be immature! Be polite, concise, and logical:

After that, sign the Oppose the SSSCA (CBDTPA) petition and get this issue noticed more and more:

FINALLY.. The Senate is asking for PUBLIC COMMENTS on this issue!! DO IT NOW! Senators Patrick Leahy and Orrin Hatch have a web form:
»judiciary.senate.gov/special/inp···mments=1
The EFF has a sample letter available here:
»www.eff.org/alerts/20020322_eff_···ert.html
And, if you can, DONATE TO THE EFF! Consider it buying your "share" in a powerful "corporation" that can work for OUR interests.

(P.S. I am NOT affiliated with the EFF.)
Thanks... Now please, TAKE ACTION! | | |

| Hollings isn't the one you should be writing to. It should be your local representative or senator. Those are the people who are more inclined to listen to you as they represent you. Hollings already made his choice and will likely not change his mind no matter how civil and lucid your comments are. Everything else suggested is all good.

Herndon, VA | True, but letting him know our dissatisfaction can't hurt. Maybe he'll think twice (or at least 1.5 times) before introducing something like this again, if it doesn't make it the first time.. | |
