EU Parliment To Vote On ACTA Soon; Take Action Now

Posted by Unknown on from the only-criminals-need-free-speech dept.

sTeF writes "Laquadrature du Net releases 3 videos on ACTA: Every citizen can help defeat ACTA by spreading this video across the Internet, urging their fellow citizens to mobilize, and contacting their elected representatives. ACTA is a threat to Internet users' fundamental freedoms and to EU Internet companies' competitiveness and free competition. The European Parliament will soon decide whether to give its consent to ACTA, or to reject it once and for all."

    You missed the irony cause you probably don't know who Christian Engström is.


    That said, if your MEP is Christian Engström, maybe you could bother another one?

    That's what I did for the telecoms package. I called a dozen of MEP. Of course, they are less receptive when you tell them you don't vote for them. But
    1/you don't have to tell them (they tend to forget that they are paid to serve general interest and not just to make sure they will be reelected)
    2/when they speak with lobbies, they are less peaky about where they're from and
    3/freedom deserves me trying that (it's just a bunch of phone calls, no harm done, and it's really efficient).
