IAHF List: Cyberspace is the last domain of freedom on this earth. If
we
don't join forces to defend our freedom in cyberspace, it won't be
long
before they'll be microchipping our butts and controlling us all via
satellites in a cashless global plantation dominated by brutal
authoritarian control. Have no illusions! Get and read "And the Truth
Shall
Set You Free" by David Ickes- get yours today from amazon.com
Without the internet, we would not be able to defend health freedom.
Please
join me in opposition to all legislation which could interfere with
our
right to free speach. The mssg below provides a cook book making it
ez to
hammer Congress hard on this. If you are outside the USA, please chip
in
too by forwarding this to any Americans whose email address you might
have.
The despicable fascist Prison Warders who want to enslave us on their
global corporate plantation and make us miserable like they are have
no
right to dictate ANYTHING to us! They have no right to tell us what
to
ingest,what potency vitamins we can have access to, what to say, what
to
do, what to view, or anything ELSE for that matter! Help put nails
into the
coffin of the NWO, stop CENSORSHIP now!!

>UPDATE FROM CAPITOL HILL: IT'S NOT OVER YET
>
>Congress has extended its session to resolve budget issues, leaving
the
>future of the Internet hanging in the balance -- there's still time
to
>weigh in and tip the scales in favor of free speech!
>
>Senator Coats and Representative Oxley have each attached amendments
to
>appropriations bills that could have a devastating effect on Internet
>communications. Both bills attempt to impose a "harmful to minors"
>restriction on a communications medium built upon free and open
>exchange. Both bills would be unconstitutional and ineffective.
They
>impose undue burdens on adult speech for the purpose of protecting
>children and yet they will fail to accomplish their intended goal,
>given the global, decentralized nature of the Internet.
>
>Members of the Internet community must remind their elected
>representatives on the Appropriations Committees that this hasty
>censorship legislation does not belong on budget bills. If you haven't
>called yet, please call now. Even if you have called already, please
>call again. During these crucial final days before the end of session,
>members of Congress are easily distracted and must be reminded to
focus
>on preserving First Amendment values.

>BACKGROUND ON "HARMFUL TO MINORS" BILLS
>
>BILL: "Communications Decency Act (CDA) II", (S.1482)
>SPONSOR: Senator Coats
>STATUS: Passed Senate as amendment to Internet Tax Freedom Act. Also

bill in the Senate.

>BILL: "Child Online Protection Act" (HR 3783)

>STATUS: Passed House
>
>Although containing substantial differences, (please see
>http://www.cdt.org/legislation/speech/oxley_v_coats.html
>for a detailed analysis), both the Coats bill and the Oxley bill are
>unconstitutional and ineffective. These censorship bills place overly
