Great article.
Sad the response isn't that great!
But to come up with $295.00 might be a little tough to show support.
Smaller increments, should be able to help, but it sounds like 3 bills or nothing.

I typed a long reply there but when I click submit, got error. Click "Back" and what I typed is gone.

Anyway, to make the long story short, IMHO, the best weapon against this bill is the general public support.

Domainers need to let the public at large knows that we are supporting the anti-phishing bill, but not the unfair clauses that are unfair to domainers.

Publicize cases like Microsoft vs mikerowesoft.com and Nissan vs nissan.com to let the public see how big corporations with deep pockets bullies and reverse hijack domains from the defenseless individual domainers. And this bill will only give these greedy corps another weapon to reverse hijack even the "GENERIC" domains. And for many domainers, their domains are their livelihood income. Would you let the big corps end the livelihood of your fellow Americans? Haven't these corps earned enough? What is the purpose of this bill allowing these corps to steal assets from domainers? To make the rich richer?

I believe that the pressure of the general public is more effective than another 1000 members in the ICA. And charging $295 for membership is not doing the enrollment any good either. Why do you need to pay $295 anyway? Where does the money goto when/if there are no bills or lawsuits to fight?

I think that guy Huge raised some excellent points myself. I'm basically just sitting back and reading right now trying to figure out whats what with all this.
