Introduction
I'm fearful of the
Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act
(CBDTPA),
so I've contacted my two Senators & my
Representative to urge them to prevent it
from becoming law.
To motivate you to contact your congressmen, or
to help you do so once you've decided to, here's
what I did, a copy of the letter I sent, &
links to information about the CBDTPA.
What I Did
-
Read about the CBDTPA.
-
Wrote a brief letter to urge my
congressmen to prevent the CBDTPA
from becoming law.
Anyone is free to use mine as a
template for their own or even to
send mine, verbatim (except use your
own name, not mine) to their
congressmen.
There's a
plain-text version
suitable for e-mail & a
LaTeX version (two parts:
letter.tex
&
body.tex).
-
Used online resources to determine
who my Senators & my Representative
were.
-
Using those same online resources, I sent
each congressman an
e-mail copy of
my letter.
-
Now I'm going to Kinko's to print the
LaTeX copy & mail it to their offices.
What You Can Do
-
Read about the CBDTPA.
This bibliography
might help.
-
Realize that you are in danger of
being alienated from your
enalienable rights.
-
Compose your own letter or use
mine or someone else's verbatim.
-
Contact your own congressmen. (The
aforementioned
bibliography contains a couple of links
that might help.)
End.
