Campus Internet Restriction Bill Fails

Garg writes "The Tucson Citizen has a story that the bill to restrict University of Arizona students' access to the Internet has died. " Looks like most of the lawmakers weren't as clueless as we thought.

Not an overwhelming vote though

[Aaron Denney]

32 voted against, 20 for. Apparently 40% are just that bad.

Some of that 20 were probably intentionally wasted on a bill that they ordinarily wouldn't have touched. The Republican legislators that did it are probably hoping to use a line like 'supported moral reform on our nations college campuses' in popular propaganda.

Important Message from Al Gore

[Anonymous Coward]

Greetings fellow Slash-dot readers;

I hope you will join me and my wife Tipper in voting for me in the upcoming primaries and general election. Here are some reasons you should do so:

I invented the internet

I support your socialist agenda. The 1996 Clinton/Gore re-election committee was the only re-election committee to actively seek illegal campaign donations from Communist China, and I am the only candidate who believes in Open Sourcin our nuclear secrets

I personally was responsible for increasing your phone bill via the illegal and unconstitutional "Gore Tax"

Being raised in a Washington DC hotel and having been educated exclusively at private schools, I can personally relate to you Slash-dot readers.

I experimented with Marijuana while a youth.

Even if you can't vote for me because you live in another country, I urge you to consider making an illegal campaign donation to me anyway.

Thank you, and if elected, I promise to do everything in my power to limit your free speech online "for the children."

Thanks,
Albert Gore, Junior.
