We need everyone to call Senator Brian Frosh, Chairman, and the appropriate Senators from your area, on March 21 or 22 asking them to combine SB 596 and SB 642 and to vote in favor of this legislation. This action is necessary because there is a fiscal note cost associated with SB 596 the Internet Bill which would be cancelled out if it was combined with SB 642 which will give people the right to go to court. After you call Senator Brian Frosh, chairman, extension 3623, refer to the list below for the Senators in your area.
