Building (i.e. Gold Dome). We will meet in the rotunda at walk in level<br>
and get a brief introduction to the legislative process. After that we<br>
will attempt to speak to our legislators at "The Rope" where we will<br>
address our concerns.<br>

Read EFF's article on SB 315 for more of a background. This computer<br>
intrusion law threatens non-commercial and academic security research as<br>
could make Terms of Service (TOS) violations a criminal matter.<br>

<br>
Tomorrow is actually NOT the most critical day for this legislation but<br>
it is a chance for us to get to know our legislators and the process.<br>
If the bill is approved by the Senate, we will attempt to testify at the<br>
House committee meeting, and that is an all-hands-on-deck alert.<br>
Committee meetings are often on short notice and subject to change dates<br>
and times at the whim of the legislature. So tomorrow's event is the<br>
only date we can count on for sure.<br>
<br>
Please RSVP to us if you can make it.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Scott<br>
<br>
P.S. No signs this time and business attire.<br>

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
