Subject: House Votes to Legalize Junk Faxes

IPers who own fax machines might be interested in this...

According to Dan Gillmor at the SJ Mercury News
(http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/9607090.htm), the House 
recently
passed what has to be one of the most dishonestly named pieces of 
legislation,
the "Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2004" which would actually repeal the 
current
ban on unsolicited junk faxes and make them legal again.

If you own a fax machine and don't want it turned into a printing press 
for the
direct marketing industry, call your Senators' offices and tell them to 
vote
against S. 2603.
