ALERT: PREVIOUS TWO ALERTS UPDATED WITH NEW CONTACT INFO

PLEASE CONTINUE TO TRY TO REACH CONGRESS ON DIGITAL MEDIA ISSUES

Electronic Frontier Foundation ACTION ALERT

(Issued: Mar. 31, 2002 / Deadline: April 8, 2002)

The previous two issues of EFFector have included action alerts on digital
music & media, and copyright. The contact information provided in both has
been failing.

It is especially urgent that you contact these legislators as soon as
possible - several days of activism have been effectively lost already
because of communications problems on Capitol Hill. Your comments are
doubly needed, to make up for what may seem to be citizen/consumer silence
on the issues!

 1. The Senate Judiciary Committee's Web-based comment form has stopped
    working. Therefore, please fax your letters to the committee, at:
    +1 202-224-9516
   
 2. The House Judiciary Courts, Internet & Intellectual Property
    Subcommittee fax is not responding. The full committee majority's fax
    machine (+1 202-225-7682) is also refusing to pick up as of our most
    recent test.
   
    The only options are to e-mail all of the subcommittee members with
    e-mail addresses:
    
    howard.coble () mail house gov, cannon.ut03 () mail house gov,
john.hostettler () mail house gov, martin.meehan () mail house gov,
john.conyers () mail house gov, howard.berman () mail house gov,
zoe.lofgren () mail house gov, william.delahunt () mail house gov,
tammy.baldwin () mail house gov, weiner () mail house gov,
talk2bob () mail house gov, lindsey.graham () mail house gov,
ninthnet () mail house gov
    
    (You should be able to just copy-paste that block of addresses into your
mailer,
    though sending individual messages might be slightly more effective.)
    
    Then fax to those with no e-mail address:
    
    Hyde:     +1 202-225-1166
    Waters:   +1 202-225-7854
    Wexler:   +1 202-225-5974
    Bachus:   +1 202-225-2082
    Gallegly: +1 202-225-1100
    Keller:   +1 202-225-0999
    Jenkins:  +1 202-225-5714
   
    (If you only have time to send one fax, send it to Hyde, one of the
    more powerful members of the full committee.)
   
    Or, for those with little time to devote to this alert, send the e-mail
    then fax to the committee minority's fax number and hope that the
    minority and majority communicate well enough that our activism's point
    is made known to both sides, which is dubious, but better than nothing:
    +1 202-225-4423
