What can you do?

(1) If you live in the United States contact your local representative and your local congressman and voice your complaint.

(2) Copy and paste this message and email it to everyone you know and ask them to act!!!

If you live outside the United States find out who represents you and your government regarding the use of the internet and let them know how big an issue this is. This effects everyone world wide.
