H.R. 3028 “The Trademark + Cyberpiracy Prevention Act of 1999” will also establish + unprecedented ability for trademark holders to sue Internet + users all around the world.

Also, Congress will soon break + for Thanksgiving.</p> +<p> + But you have to act!</p> + +<h3>What You Can Do</h3> + +<p> + It is vitally important for you to contact your Representative + in Congress and explain politely but firmly that you hope that + your Representative will VOTE AGAINST H.R. 3028.</p> +<p> + Here is a quick guide to Calling Your Congressman.</p> + +<ol> + <li>Call the Capitol Hill Switchboard (202-224-3121) and + ask to speak to your Congressman. (Don't know who your + Congressman is? Ok, go <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080611003520/https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml">here</a> [archived]).</li> + + <li>When you reach the office say to the person who answers + the phone:<p> + + “Hello, I'm a registered voter in the district of + Congressman <name>. I'm calling because I hope he/she + will vote against H.R. 3028, ‘The Cyberpiracy Act’. + I don't like cyberpirates, but I believe this bill will hurt + ALL domain name holders on the Internet, including small + businesses, noncommercial organizations and individuals. Will + you please tell the Congressman that I asked him/her to vote + against H.R. 3028? Thanks.”</p> + + <p>Here are all the things you just did in 30 seconds:</p> + <ul> + <li>You made clear that you're a voter in the Congressman's + District (they'll listen to you!)</li> + <li>You said clearly that you are against a bill and you gave + the bill number and the title of the bill (it's important to + give both!)</li> + <li>You gave the Congressman a good reason to vote against + H.R. 3028 (Members of Congress like good reasons for votes)</li> + <li>You asked for a commitment to convey your position to the + Congressman (you want to be taken seriously)</li> + <li>You were polite (always a plus)</li> + <li>If you leave your name and address, that will make your call + even more effective (you might even get a letter)</li> + </ul> + </li> + + <li>If you like, you can also send an email to your Representative + with a new service offered at the House web site — check + <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080611003520/https://forms.house.gov/wyr/welcome.shtml">here</a> [archived].</li> + + <li>If you're still energized to do something, ask a friend or + neighbor who also lives in your district to make the same + call. You can also call the office of the Chairman of the + Rules Committee Congressman David Dreier and tell his + staffperson that you oppose H.R. 3028 and hope that Mr. + Dreier will put off a vote on the bill until the problems + are fixed.</li> + + <li>If you want to learn more about the problems with H.R. 3028, + look at the excellent letter from computer users and legal + experts.
