Hi Kevin.EFF's website was, indeed, overloaded this weekend. Our sysadmin made a fix to the web server configuration on Saturday night, and the site seems to be working fine now. Our tech team is still looking into the cause of the problem, but our sysadmin suspects there was some misconfiguration on our end and nothing as exciting as a DOS attack from the U.S. Chamber! Please let me know if you have any other difficulties trying to join. We sure could use your help! Thanks for your support!

It might make the chamber look foolish, but the site is described as classic "fair use."Archives
