CLIP: Congress works with the Cypherpunks!
Cypherpunks (or cryptoprivacy professionals) :-),
Hey, some good news. I just got some good information that the winds
in Congress are blowing our way. In the latest "Communications Daily", the
House of Reps. Telecommunications Subcommittee Chair Markey (D-Mass)
has come out actively opposing the Wiretap Chip. He gave several reasons,
most of them not technical but commercial. I think he could use some technical
talking points too. This could be important guys. A chairman has mucho
power (albeit he is only a subcom chair, but he may be well connected).
I will digest the article and post it for Eric to put it on the ftp site.
I will also get the vital info on this charming privacy advocate (Ill bet he
wears a suit too! ;^)
This is an incredible window of opportunity. Think, type, send but don't
overdo it. This may be our only advocate. But he may have Senator Kennedy's
ear. I guess this will test the cypherpunk effectiveness quotient. Progress.
