Cypherpunks (or cryptoprivacy professionals) :-), Hey, some good news. I just got some good information that the winds in Congress are blowing our way. In the latest "Communications Daily", the House of Reps. Telecommunications Subcommittee Chair Markey (D-Mass) has come out actively opposing the Wiretap Chip. He gave several reasons, most of them not technical but commercial. I think he could use some technical talking points too. This could be important guys. A chairman has mucho power (albeit he is only a subcom chair, but he may be well connected). I will digest the article and post it for Eric to put it on the ftp site. I will also get the vital info on this charming privacy advocate (Ill bet he wears a suit too! ;^) This is an incredible window of opportunity. Think, type, send but don't overdo it. This may be our only advocate. But he may have Senator Kennedy's ear. I guess this will test the cypherpunk effectiveness quotient. Progress. Matt mjmiski@macc.wisc.edu
