Find out if yours ( or any ) representative or senator voted for the CDA. Send me email with the subject CDA-YES. Put their name and where they are from in the body. I'll compile the list and post it. When this is over they'll wish they realized how powerful the internet REALLY is.

Most of those voting against the Telecoms Bill did so because they were against the dereg provisions not the CDA. Most of those who voted for it favored the general technical provisions. Most who thought about the CDA and still voted for the bill decided to let the courts handle the unconstitutional provisions because "federal judges don't have to stand for election." Political retaliation is useless in the face of a 90% yes vote. If you are deeply upset by the high-handed manner in which the legislature has screwed around with your life, welcome to the club. Every bill they pass and every regulation upsets someone just as badly as you are upset. That is why some of us want less legislation and less regulation to minimize just this sort of human suffering. Maybe next time those of you who are into "proactive" government will think before you crush other people's lives.
