Hi, everyone!

If you believe, as I do, that the internet should be free of censorship,
please send a
copy of the following message to the president on February 29,1996:  Feel
free to
edit the last paragraph to put it in your own words

Dear Mr. President,

Do you remember this?

                               THE BILL OF RIGHTS

  Amendment I

   Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
   prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
   speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
   assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

  Amendment II

   A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free
   state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be
   infringed.

  Amendment III

   No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without
   the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be
   prescribed by law.

  Amendment IV

   The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,
   and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
   violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
   supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
   to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

  Amendment V

   No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous
   crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in
   cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in
   actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be
   subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb;
   nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against
   himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due
   process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use,
   without just compensation.

  Amendment VI

   In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a
   speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district
   wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have
   been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and
   cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him;
   to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to
   have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

  Amendment VII

   In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed
   twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no
   fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the
   United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

  Amendment VIII

   Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor
   cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

  Amendment IX

   The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be
   construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

  Amendment X

   The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
   prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively,
or to
   the people.

In accordance with the above, I urge you most strongly to work for the repeal
of the communications decency act.
