Please Note:  Your _CONGRESS CRITTER_ wants to tell YOU & ErieWeb what to see or put on the Internet.  This includes EVERYBODY! (ie:business, industry, reasearch, academia, individuals)  Call your Congress Critter _NOW_.  Remember, our form of government is only as good as our participation.

I'd rather decide for myself what information is pertinent/appropriate for me to see.  Personal and Parental Responsibility are far more effective and less expensive than the Big Brother Thought Police Approach.  Direct your opinion to your Congress Critter!

In the Greater Akron-Area, our House Representative is Tom Sawyer (Akron Office #: (216)375-5710, Washington DC Office number: (202) 225-5231</b>.  He's on the Web at URL: http://www.house.gov/mbr_dir/OH14.html  Mr. Sawyer hasn't decided whether or not to receive constituent email.  Let him know what YOU think!

Our Ohio Senators to the US Senate are:
Senator John Glenn, (Columbus, OH number:  (614) 469-6697</b>, Washington DC number: 202-224-3353</b>), and is on the Web at URL: http://www.senate.gov/senator/glenn.html  Senator Glenn doesn't want to receive email from constituents, let him know what YOU think!  
Senator Mike Dewine, (Columbus, OH number: (614) 469-6774</b>, Washington DC number:  (202) 224-2315), and is on the Web at URL: HREF="http://www.senate.gov/~dewine/
Senator Dewine does accept constituent email at: senator_dewine@dewine.senate.gov  Let him know what YOU think!

The Senate and House will be Voting any day now, Please Call!  Tell them we'd rather take responsibility for ourselves and decide what we'd like to see or not see on the Internet.  We don't need Big Brother telling us what we can say or read.  Tell them to vote NO on the Telecommunications Reform Bill currently in conference before the House and Senate.  This bill is extremely unconstitutional and if passed will greatly endanger the ability of Internet Service Providers to provide accurate up-to-date, unfi
ltered information, and could very well threaten the booming Internet-based markets (ie: anyone reading this message).  It will libel all of us as Internet Service Providers to censor all communications coming across our systems.  ErieWeb (http://www.erieweb.com/index.html) does not want this to happen. I don't know about Akron U, Kent State, or any of the Greater Akron Area Internet Service Providers.

Historical Note:  Tom Sawyer voted _FOR_ the FBI Wiretap bill.  Senator Glenn didn't know it was voted on until after the fact.  Check their voting records!  This Big Brother Bill mandates built-in wiretaps for all communications equipment, including telepone lines, and data communications gear.  This will make it easier for the Feds to monitor _YOUR_ communications.  Tell them and Freshman Senator Dewine not to vote for any appropriations for this bill, or better yet, repeal this unconstitutional Big Brot
her Mandate!  Better Call now, our elected representatives need to hear your voice.  Our Voices Do Make a Difference!

Flames to /dev/null please.
