No one seems to have followed the link I posted to the slashdot article
about this. The Congress is back in session Friday, and expected to take
up this during Friday's session. If you read the article on Slashdot, the
congresswoman quoted there indicated that personal rights are important
to members of Congress, in contradiction to what we may think. However,
the squeeky wheel gets the oil. If this is important to you, write. I
don't care if you use my letter, or write your own. Fax it, or phone it,
but DO NOT email it. They aren't that tech savy and may not get the email.
Faxes are what the NRA uses to good effect.

After Thursday may be too late.
