[comp.org.eff.talk] A Modest Proposal

revpk@cellar.UUCP (Brian 'Rev P-K' Siano) (06/05/91)

        In the latest issue of Effector Online, the editors were kind enough 
to supply us with the phone numbers of the Senators on the Judiciary 
Committee reviewing Senate Bill 266.

        That's a good idea to encourage our contacting them, but I'd like to 
suggest assembling a list of FAX numbers for key Senators as well.

        Obviously, a good number of us have access to fax machines, fax 
boards, and any number of autodialing/batch thingummybobs. I'm certain that 
we could send them-- using our chosen medium of expression a healthy number 
of letters and related materials in support of our cause.

        I'm not calling for dopey plans to make them run out of thermal paper 
(even if it is paid for by all of us). The fact is, letters to congressmen, 
while they might not get read, do get noticed if they arrive in droves... and 
fax transmissions are very convenient for us.

        I'm certain we could, individualy, work up single-page letters merely 
registering our opposition to S.266: and I'm equally certain that those of us 
who have more expertise can assemble impressive overviews of the legal issues 
involved.

        Any suggestions?

	Please don't call something "A Modest Proposal" unless its satire.
	(And S.266 is supposedly fixed now.)
