>---------- Forwarded message ---------- >Date: Wed, 12 Jul 1995 15:28:25 -0400 >Subject: Anti-Electronic Racketeering Act of 1995 > > > "(2) to distribute computer software that encodes or encrypts > electronic or digital communications to computer networks that the > person distributing knows, or reasonably should know, is accessible to > foreign nationals and foreign governments, regardless of whether such > software has been designated nonexportable." Christ, these guys are so predictable. What do want to bet that the last clause of that paragraph was put in, just so it could be taken out? Netscape, Apple, Novell et al testify before Congress; complain that their crippled crypto has already been approved for export; they'll lose so much money in sales, blah blah blah. Grassley smiles for the camera, says "I'm a reasonable man", strikes out the last clause. Isn't democracy wonderful? -- Thank you VERY much! You'll be getting a Handsome Simulfax Copy of your OWN words in the mail soon (and My Reply). <Andrew.Spring(a)ping.be> PGP Print: 0529 C9AF 613E 9E49 378E 54CD E232 DF96 Thank you for question, exit left to Funway.

I see the cypherpunks' mailing list lost it's mind again. It has been awhile since this happened. Was it an accident or sabotage? Loren

hello everybody, Please direct all your future replies related to this message and the Mother Jones junk to truher(a)mojones.com Also, please do *not* "group reply": check to ensure that only truher(a)mojones.com is included in the "To:" part of the email header, and do not include anyone in the "Cc:" part of the email header. Thanks very much. (BTW, I have absolutely nothing to do with Mother Jones or its WWW site.)

"Overweaning." "Iowa." Yes, yes, I know. Fingers think for themselves. Too used to typing "weenie." Just read DOJ report. Don't write. Bolivar

Free The World Web Server project.. :)
by The Gate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

15:57 EST July 14th, 1995 New Haven, CT. From the Yale Computer Center: Got an idea for y'all, from the heart and mind of Elizabeth Walker, with whom I live. Let's set up a web site where someone can submit a letter that will be automatically sent to every senator, congressperson, elected and appointed federal official. If we run into trouble, we can scale it down, narrow the various target areas... Also, we could write our own letters, post them, and if someone wants to resend it, they could do so at the click of the mouse. Example, someone logs on to the Freedom Speaks webserver, and is greeted by the message, "Welcome, enter your message for Federal officials in the box provided, then hit the submit button." "If you would like to submit one of our pre-written letters, just click on any of the ones you see below." For those without web access, we could set up a mailing list to do the same. I.e. to send a message to all our elected and appointed officials, send message to freetheworld(a)gateway.net. From there it gets spooled everywhere. What do you think? I could probably do it somehow, but someone with access to better resources and knowledge of cgi-bin might be better for the job. If anyone is interested in this project, let me know... R.
