As you likely already know, on Feb. 1 1996 the United States House and Senate voted on and overwhelmingly passed the Telecommunications Act almost immediately after being reported out of committee, before the public was able to read, much less comment upon this bill. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), decries the forfeiture of free speech prescribed by the sweeping censorship provisions of the telecommunications "reform" legislation EFF is launching a campaign using a blue ribbon as a symbol to visually communicate support for free speech in the electronic world. As a provider of content on the Internet we invite you to join in this awareness campaign by displaying a link to our "Blue Ribbon" page where we will update what is happening in the effort to preserve free speech. Pictures, HTML anchors and information on the progress of the campaign are all available from http://www.eff.org/blueribbon.html. Don't wait in silence. Please join the fight against Internet Censorship!! ------------------------------------------------------ Dan Brown | System admin for the Electronic Frontier Foundation | brown@eff.org +1 415 436 9EFF Voice || +1 415 436 9993 Fax || +1 415 605 1481 Pager (Please leave area code _and_ phone number if you page me!)
