Please distribute freely.

This may discuss the freedom of speech on the internet, but it also applies
to men's rights as well.

***************************************************************************

The U.S. Government has recently passed an act which enforces censorship on
the internet. A group of internet users has now come together to kick back
at this oppression.

The aim of this exercise is to re-establish the United States as "The land
of the Free", not a fascist state where freedom of speech and thought are
curtailed. Communist Russia fell as a result of such limitsbeing placed
upon the minds of the general populus.

On receiving this letter, please pass it on to as many friends or E-mail
lists as you can. We predict that if everybody copies the letter to 5 other
addresses, by February 29th 1996, this letter should have reached in excess
of 2 million people. That's when the fun begins........

On February 29th, please send this to the address given and enclose the
pre-typed copy of the Bill of rights. By sending the letter on the 29th,
you will contribute to either one huge petition for freedom, or else lead
to a crash of the  whitehouse server.

Send all letters to:
 President@Whitehouse.gov
 Remember that solidarity is the key to success
