Congress). The ICA has posted information on how American citizens can contact their senators to lodge a protest and also provided a sample letter to help you verbalize your opposition to the present language in the bill.

As stated at InternetCommerce.org, "It is very important that every U.S.-resident ICA members as well as other domainers write to their U.S. Senators and advise them of the serious concerns raised by Sen. Snowe’s “anti-phishing” bill. Because it has been labeled consumer-friendly legislation aimed at stopping a serious consumer scam, your Senators may be inclined to support it unless they learn that it is not as advertised - and that their constituents have major concerns about it. Constituents are voters, and elected officials care about what they think."

The ICA urges you to take a few minutes this weekend to send your own e-mails and letters. The Senate is only in session for one more week and then is in recess the entire second half of March so these communications need to to start arriving on Monday to help get this dangerous issue resolved before it goes any further.
