Stop Congress From Taking the Fast Track to One-Sided Copyright Laws
- pasbesoin 13y agoI took the time to write a succinct, explanatory one page letter to my Representative, late last week, and then used HelloFax (a YC company) to fax it to his DC office. Interestingly, this Rep at least and apparently some others, no longer list their fax number on the web pages they control. I had to Google a bit to turn it up. I wrote a few similar letters during the "SOPA uprising". So did a lot of other people, and this had an effect. I also sent a couple of letters during the ACA passage debates. Each time, I wrote up my perspective and position in my own words and drawing upon personal examples. I summarized what I was writing about and my position in the first paragraph and then expanded upon this in the following few paragraphs. This leaves no doubt that I am actually concerned and thinking about the topic, and that I'm very likely to remember it and my Representative's actions on it, come the next election. It doesn't take too long, and if you don't want to use HelloFax and have a phone line, as far as I know Windows PC's that still have a telephone modem in them come with fax software as a part of the Windows OS distribution. This was always the case in Windows XP. If you are concerned, take a few minutes to make it personal, and in your own words.
