>       NicolÃ¡s -- big news! Yesterday the Senate Judiciary Committee voted
>    unanimously to send the Internet blacklist bill to the full Senate, but it
>    was quickly stopped by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) who denounced it as "a
>    bunker-buster cluster bomb" aimed at the Internet and pledged to "do
>    everything I can to take the necessary steps to stop it from passing the
>    U.S. Senate."
> 
>    Wyden's opposition practically guarantees the bill is dead this year --
>    and next year the new Congress will have to reintroduce the bill and start
>    all over again. But even that might not happen: Dianne Feinstein (D-CA),
>    Hollywood's own senator, told the committee that even she was
>    uncomfortable with the Internet censorship portion of the bill and hoped
>    it could be removed when they took it up again next year!
> 
>    This is incredible -- and all thanks to you. Just a month ago, the Senate
>    was planning to pass this bill unanimously; now even the senator from
>    Hollywood is backing away from it. But this fight is far from over -- next
>    year, there's going to be hearings, negotiations, and even more crucial
>    votes. We need to be there, continuing to fight.

>    [1]Can you chip in a couple bucks so we can keep our lobbyist in DC?
> 
>    We're doing everything we can: working with key staffers to remove the
>    most egregious parts of the bill, lobbying more members of Congress to
>    speak out against this bill, and insisting on hearings so the whole Senate
>    can learn about how dangerous this is. And, of course, we'll keep working
>    with you to make sure more people hear about this bill and tell their
>    senators.
