Hi Kevin.
EFF's website was, indeed, overloaded this weekend.  Our sysadmin made  
a fix to the web server configuration on Saturday night, and the site  
seems to be working fine now.  Our tech team is still looking into the  
cause of the problem, but our sysadmin suspects there was some  
misconfiguration on our end and nothing as exciting as a DOS attack  
from the U.S. Chamber!  Please let me know if you have any other  
difficulties trying to join.  We sure could use your help!  Thanks for  
your support!
Shari
