I'm trying to find out. I've sent in the obligatory letters of
protest about the SSSCA, I haven't sent anything about the bill
since it's been renamed. On Monday I plan to call the offices of
both state senators and my rep to find out what their official
stance is.

However, even if the office says "we're not for it" don't be
lulled into thinking that they will actually vote against it.
It's not at all uncommon for politicians to denounce a bill
that they end up voting for. Even if they're truly against it,
many will vote the party line or vote for someone else's bill
to get votes for their own bills or whatever.

I hope that I can drum up at least ten or fifteen CLUEbies to
help protest this and possibly start a petition. If this bill
passes it could be disasterous for Linux.
