[Nfbc-info] After Target - was - Re: What about Apple, iTunes, and the iPhone, etc?

[Bryan Bashin]

Hi Chuck,

I wonder if you might be willing to use some of your connections with 
the California Democratic party to see if a legislative sponsor for 
this could be found?

As many of the major sites from Craig's List to Ebay to Facebook and 
on and on are headquartered here this could be a very useful 
contribution.  Let us know what you find.

Bryan
