Everyone should write to Darrel Issa to if they haven't. Democrats are already fighting an investigation into Aaron Swartz prosecution.

Darrel Issa is one of the GOPs top watchdogs and chairman of the committee on oversight and Government Reform. He is willing and able to do more for the web than any other representative out there.

I used to write my representative once a week, they never even reply anymore, meanwhile I can get a prompt response from people like Rand Paul and Darrel Issa yet come campaign time Stabenow wouldn't even send me campaign garb. She didn't even have to campaign in Flint-Twp because of the DNC control all my relatives voted for her.

So if you have a lame duck representative you should probably try reaching out to some more people. We need the tool we had last year to call these people up so we can get all our non-web using friends and relatives involved too, they support us and will stand with us if we feed them the call. We even had a script! Let's show those representatives the web is still around this Internet Freedom Day

No, Issa does lead the oversight and government reform committee, which is a very powerful entity.

Politicians operate in a political market and will adjust to the demands of their constituents in order to be success in their position. I was giving example of people more receptive to the notions of the people opposed to a centralized ideal.

I posted in the other thread -can we get access to the same program used last year for contact legislators to demand action for Aaron Swartz.

What kind of action do you think is best moving forward to reform draconian cyber laws. I hope to study law and was wondering if there is any protection under the 8th amendment, but it seems it has no effect in terms of sentencing.

What kind of amendment would you propose to limit government interference in the open web or do you think there is the frame work to ensure consumer protection and equality without something such drastic steps.

So you are saying you simply have a tablet device attached to your PoS and the app communicates the data back to the register in USD.
