How to contact your congressional representatives:
Our politicians are getting worried about what they have created (DMCA). This law is being used to pursue P2P users who are being used as scapegoats due to poor CD sales.

Contact by Email
If this seems intimidating, call your local county clerks office, usually under county government, and ask for the names, addresses and phone numbers of your elected congress persons. If you don’t want to write, call their local offices.
Emailing or faxing them is easier than posting on this board and costs absolutely nothing. Snail mail is another option. If you are a registered voter, include your registration number in the letter. It lets your representatives know you mean business. Nothing scares politicians more than angry constituents, most especially in a bad economy as we are experiencing now; that is because angry voters fire an incumbent lawmaker and put someone else in that seat to represent constituent interests. No amount of money from a special interest group changes that. True power still rests with the people.
Folks, make your votes count and your voices heard!! Turn the heat up under your lawmakers, together we can make a huge difference.
