OVER 10,000 SIGN PETITION TO OPPOSE CLIPPER
In only two weeks, over 10,000 users of the nation's computer networks
have signed the CPSR petition calling for President Clinton to withdraw
the Clipper proposal.
Opposition has been widespread, from CEOs of large firms to college
students in small towns, from librarians and civil libertarians to computer
programmers and product marketers.
To sign the petition, email <[email protected]> with the message
"I Oppose Clipper"
Encourage friends to sign.
In 1990, over 30,000 people sent email message to Lotus asking that a
