Subject: Non-US programmers

I have been thinking about what those of us who do NOT live in the
USA can do.

I assume that those of you who do live there are aware that most of
us (Open Source programmers, etc) are now wary of ever going to the
USA for any reason.

I was wondering if there was someone in the US Congress who needs
this pointed out to them - possibly by an email campaign.
(Snail mail from Australia to the USA takes two weeks - we do NOT
want to make Dmitry wait that long!)

Alternatively, if the relevent Congresspeople only have snail mail,
someone in the USA could act as a letter-drop for those of us
outside the USA to email, that US person could print and send the
collected emails on our behalf.


Please let me know when you know what you're going to do here.
I emailed Adobe, but am reluctant to snail-mail Meuller's office -
as I said, it'd take too FSCKING long to arrive.

Sincerely
(because, dammit, I want to be able to go to conventions and
conferences without expecting arrest...)
