Just a reminder to contact your rep to voice your support for this legislation. It's important to contact them to support good legislation, not just when they do things you don't like.
- forapurpose 8y agoElections are coming this fall, and primaries are this summer, for everyone in the House and 1/3 of the Senate. Reps should be particularly sensitive to constituent desires.
- craftyguy 8y agoUnfortunately my senators (Ron Wyden & Jeff Merkley) are always supporting these things, so writing them asking them to support it would be a waste of time.
- CryptoPunk 8y agoRon Wyden was also one of only two senators who voted against FOSTA. Rand Paul was the other.
- craftyguy 8y agoonly 1% of US senators have any (demonstrated) basic understanding of info sec, and that 1% is Ron. It's a shame. Maybe this fall will bring in more competent folks. On the bright side, since his seat is not up for election this year, the situation can't get worse.
- Zak 8y agoThanking them for doing so might be worthwhile.
- ionised 8y agoYeah, thanking them is a pretty good way to encourage them to continue.
- pc2g4d 8y agoThey're more likely to continue doing so if their constituents continue to cry out in support.
- craftyguy 8y agoThanks for the reminder. I do write them occasionally so show support, but it has been a while so I will do that!
- joering2 8y agoSo thank them then!
- afarrell 8y agoTelling someone "that thing you're doing is great! Keep doing it!" is good for motivating and focusing them. This also applies to the workplace.
- jlgaddis 8y agoI live halfway across the country and I've written to Sen. Wyden before to tell him that I wished he were my senator. You could write him just to say "thanks"!
