I'm putting this back to the top because it is important.

If everyone who reads this forum sends in a fax it CAN make a difference. It only takes a few hundred to get them thinking, a few thousand and they will shelve the matter.

If they pass this bill they might be able to make life difficult for many people here. At the minimum there will be inconveniences. At worst, they will succeed in cutting off the offshore business.

This thing looks like it is coming to a vote withyin a week. I hope everyone took the time to write. (5 minutes) We only need 136 votes to kill this thing.
