Please, Americans, if you do nothing else today, then please take action against EARN-IT.

https://www.noearnitact.org/call/?link_id=0&can_id=bfbae84c7fa9804896ed0481e29757d7&source=email-earn-it-act-vote-this-thursday&email_referrer=email_848204&email_subject=earn-it-act-vote-this-thursday

We discussed it on the show, but it would destroy online privacy, crypto, etc. This is no joke. Please, take action TODAY as it goes up for a vote July 2nd.

If you love Free Software or Privacy, this bill has to die!

I see a lot of people boosting this message.

You should know that it passed the Senate Judiciary Committee. IT MUST BE STOPPED NOW IN REGULAR COMMITTEE. THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE!

@emacsen I'd seen news of Sen. Hirono take AG Barr to task, so when I called her office, I added to my spiel, "No one in their right mind would give Attorney General Barr more authority over how the Internet works."

@emacsen I did it! I called!! I had no idea it was going to be voted on tomorrow (July 2). I had even written a letter and was preparing to send it but I don't think it wouldn't have gotten there in time. Thanks again!

@dustin Thanks. As I mentioned, though, it's past that point. Now it's in the general senate.
