[Blindtlk] fw: writing in to ask you to vote against this

[Mike Freeman]

Chris:

With respect, your championing of such tripe on this list is naïve at best
and harmful at worst. Nowhere in this post did I see a bill number so that
the claims in the post could be checked with Truth or fiction or Snopes.
Nowhere do we receive verification that the site we're supposed to go to
isn't a rogue site that itself would spread malicious software to our
computers. And, perhaps most importantly (although this is hard to check
since we don't have a bill number here), it is unclear that NFB has policy
on this issue and IMO it's therefore inappropriate to advocate one way or
the other on this list.

My friend, most of what one reads on the Internet is pure twaddle, designed
either to sucker you into being someone else's tool or to perpetuate a gag.

Nota bene: any post that says to send it to all one's addressbook or friends
or whatever is almost a dead giveaway that one shouldn't bother.

Mike

Hello -
 I usually don't do chain emails but this is bad enough for me to 
do one.
 This week congress will pass a bill that will let them censer us 
and track what sights we go to and everything we do on the web if 
we don't write into congress and ask our local congress 
representative to vote against this.
 This bill is unconstitutional on so many different levels that I 
could list at least 5 reasons to vote against this but I'm sure 
you can think of more then a few yourself.
 Here is an online sight that will send a letter to congress.

 I'm sure you could also write into your local congress 
reprezentitive with a pen and paper if you wish as well but it's 
impairitive you do this before the end of the week as your letter 
could mean more then you think.
 I ask of all of you to do your part.
 This is even going to affect those outside of the USA.
 If you go to facebook or youtube, those are all sights from the 
USA.  I've got no doubt that you will not be able to do 
everything like you could before if this bill gets past.
 So, please, do your part.
 Timothy.
