Yet Another Anti-Spam Bill In U.S. Senate

ackthpt writes "Another bill has been introduced in the U.S. Senate, according to CNN/Technology, by Sens. Conrad Burns (R-Montana) and Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) Yahoo supports it, but DMA and AOL want to polish it a bit more. Version 0.9 beta would require States Attorney Generals to sue spammers on consumers behalf. (So long as I get some moola from these jerks, I'd be happy with that) My wishes are: craft a strong enough bill to stand 1st Amendment challenges and punish violators in the pocketbook enough and a few prosecutions will bring most of the domestic junk to a screeching halt. I tend to daydream about winning the lottery, too. Contact your Senators and Representative with your wishes, maybe this time something will get a move on."

  1. Don't worry, John Ashcroft to the rescue. by DaedalusHKX · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Do not worry. A fine non racist non segregationist republican with "fine upstanding christian morals" like John Ashcroft will not let a petty thing like The Constitution stand in his way to power and glory (and mad moolah).

    Remember folks, he's a rich white republican. Nothing can stop rich white republicans. Not even the truth or justice.

    PS - feel free to mod as you will. I'm restating what most college kids and people from countries NOT brainwashed by corporate media know to be the truth.
