This issue won't be a campaign issue; Republicans will push the bill but not while elections are on the near horizon.

When you'll see a bill like this make headway is when nobody's getting elected, and you'll see it as a rider on another bill with a name like "Voter Tax Relief Act of 2007," or some nonsense like that. And it will get defeated and come in as a rider on another bill with another misleading name. Just like it already has several times.

If you don't agree with it, get on a mailing list and sign a protest every time they try. A big list of voters that will remember the Senators who signed the bill will make those Senators back off. A small list will make them favor the big campaign contributions they can expect from Verizon and SBC.

Exactly! Let them know you're watching. And if they vote for it, you don't vote for them.

So - don't vote for legislation that charges all email, good or bad, money. And don't vote for legislation that charges big web services like Google for use of the Web (like the bill discussed here).

What makes you think WE'LL ever get a chance to vote on any of this? It will be done in Washington. The trick is to get their attention and convince them it's better to vote OUR way than that of the big corporations that are salivating to make this law line their pockets.
