========================================================
Here is what I just sent my Representative and Senators.
I contact them frequently. Some replies by US Postal
you can tell have been written by staffers as
form letters, some because of the content of my
correspondence, I can tell my communication was read.

"...3:00 a.m.  5.May.99.PDT

WASHINGTON -- It didn't take Washington
politicians very long to respond to reports that the
Littleton, Colorado, killers had their own Web
sites. Last week top Justice Department official
Eric Holder said he'd like to see new "regulations"
controlling how Americans use the Internet, and
President Clinton warned of its dangers..."

[controlled!?!]

I'm sorry but I do not need controlling on my
Internet use. I use the Internet responsibly
and for academic fair use purposes.

And I certainly resent any politician who use
the deaths of those murdered children to control
adults.

Whatever happened to the Bill of Rights?
