Once again, our canvassers are showing that we can win this fight.

What we're seeing is that a methodical practice can achieve our goals.

These rates show us that people in the area we targetted are genuinely
concerned about the DMCA and its effect on libraries.  We have to complete
the task and bring Congressmen Weiner and Schumer to our side.  From there
it's a matter of deploying the support of those in Congress who come to our
side, to bring down the DMCA (and get Dmitry out from under the constraint
of his ridiculous prosecution).

We need to consistently pitch for more volunteers, since it's people who
build the strength of the organization and increase the scope, magnitude
and
gravity of our campaign.

We now have a team of organizers, equipped with the leadership skills and
tools we need to expand our effort in a predictable, effective fashion.  We
now know exactly what it takes to get specific results.

Let's bring it in!
