    Done. Opposed.

    Also wrote a very professional note to my Senator (Florida) The guy who's pretty much heading the bill, urging him to oppose this bill.

    I hope he actually reads it but I'm not getting my hopes up :\

    I don't know, it isn't working for me. I registered, and then I log in. However, when I try click oppose on this bill it suddenly "un-logs" me, so I am no longer logged in, and therefore my vote is not effective. Very weird.

    Re: Call To All members here.... S373
    Something's sketchy here. Every time I get to the S373 page, it logs me out. When I click "oppose", it wants me to log in, but when I do, it sends me to a different page. I can then run a search for S373, but the moment I click on the link to go to its page, I get logged out again. WTF? Does the HSUS have hackers or something??

    Oh, and it doesn't do this for other bills, just this one. Grrrrrrr!

    Ok, I gave it a another try. If you click on the second link in follow's post things work much better. I had no problems after I did so.

    Re: Call To All members here.... S373
    If you are having problems with being logged out when you click oppose, close the page. Re-open the main page, www.opencongress.org , login in, then go to the S373 page and oppose.

    That's what I had to do and it worked.

    That does not help us in any way, Snakemaster. In fact, it could do a lot of harm to our cause. Mind your own country's laws--you don't have a means to intervene in ours. If Politicians think that people from other countries are doing what you did, our opinions will be meaningless to them, because they will have no way of knowing how many people like you there are in the numbers. And you bragged about it on a public forum. Great thinking, there.

    I do not think i would hurt anyways i used a friend of mine fathers cabin as a address so it would look like i am an american. Besides the government is not going to check each and every e-mail address for citizenship. For all they know i am on vacation in a different country.

    Snakemaster, it WILL hurt if discovered, and they MAY check. So don't do it, or encourage others to do it. This is the US government. It has computers. They do, in fact, record who all of their citizens are.

    Opposed! Once again..

    This fight will never end will it?

    I also posted this in NUMEROUS bulletins on myspace and plan to bombard my bulletin space with it again today :P

    Hey, people always fill the bulletin board with worthless nonsense and no one ever looks at it because of this. At least THIS is worthwhile.

    I stopped reading this thread. Sorry to make this my first post in a long long time, but this is not right. In fact, this angers me. If you want to voice your opinion about what we as the USA do, you should move here and become a citizen. If you don't want to do that, keep your opinions about government in Canada. Thank you. :salute:

    And I will surely let them know I oppose.
