I wish there were more options besides the EFF who supported the myriad of causes the EFF works towards. Their treatment of CISPA was not, however, something I can stand to support, and for this reason I can't justify giving them money until they soften their hardline stance substantially. Their "call to arms" press release was rife with doublespeak and inaccurate interpretations of the proposed bill, and it felt like there was some kind of ulterior motive at play for them to never be satisfied with concessions and changes to the bill text. I get this sense that the EFF basically says, "no!" to every bill coming from congress that has anything at all to do with the Internet, and that's just not a useful way to run an advocacy group. I support a free and open Internet (seriously, who doesn't around here?) but I would rather codify that in US law than sit around and wait for the FCC to fine Comcast. If congress can't touch the Internet, then they can't protect it, and I'm afraid the EFF would find itself on the wrong side of an open Internet if congress tried.
