Griffin is 100% correct about the leverage you can get from a phone call rather than other forms of communication with Congrescritters.
My organization (CDT) has been working heavily on CISPA, along with our allies EFF, ACLU and others. The bill did just (within the past hour) indeed pass our House. Before the bill moved to the House floor, our National Security/Cybersecurity lead (one of my bosses, Greg Nojeim) wrote the following critique of the bill: https://www.cdt.org/blogs/greg-nojeim/1504cispa-moves-house-floor-still-deeply-flawed And this week the White House issued a veto threat saying if it comes to the President's desk in its' current form, he will veto it. The statement reads exactly like the arguments many of us advocacy organizations have been making, which is a good sign: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/legislative/sap/113/saphr624r_20130416.pdf We doubt much movement will happen in our Senate soon and any bill will look very different. best, Joe On Thu, Apr 18, 2013 at 12:17 PM, Griffin Boyce <griffinbo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Andrew F <andrewfriedman...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> thanks griffin. >> ... liked... and shared. >> Crap...
