This is a great opportunity to encourage more such brave behaviour on
Senator Lott's part -- it must be very scarey to stand up to the FBI
and the NSA when you're a Senator...
Don't forget to give the Senator's office in DC a call,
the number is: (202)224-6253.
1) Ask to speak to the Senator's staffer on Encryption Policy;
2) Tell him that you congratulate the Senator on his courage to take
on the FBI, and
3) You hope to see him on all the Sunday Morning talk shows explaining
to the American people why they should be concerned that the FBI wants
to take away their privacy... and how he, as Senate Majority Leader,
will never allow such un-American proposals to even come to a vote...
** Remember -- be really polite, he's on our side (for now)....
