OFF: Bill of Rights sent to Whitehouse

[cjohnson]

       WARNING:  V*E*R*Y off topic subject!

       Some of you may be aware that recent legislation has been enacted
       in the USA to enforce censorship on the Internet.  Fewer of you may
       be aware that a group of US citizens are planning to SPAM the White
       House on February 29th with copies of the Bill of Rights, as a
       simultaneous protest and show of solidarity(?).

       The gist is, all volunteer participants send a single Email
       containing a brief introduction, followed by the Bill of Rights.
       Only one msg, very simple contents.  It is unclear if anything
       other than crashing Bill Clinton's Mail server will come from this.
       However, this is a possibly painless way of showing civil
       disobedience.

       I do not encourage SPAM activities in any way.  But if this bit of
       sophistry helps, then think of it as *you* are only sending a
       *single* Email to your elected leader, stating your opinion in very
       simple terms that *should* have some relevence to the matter at
       hand.  Conveniently overlook the huge volume of Email that Bill
       will receive on the same day that you send your Email.

       (more and more apologies for the interruption!)
