>> Subject: VICTORY!
>>
>> Nicolás -- 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.

>> P.S. Are you as outraged as we are at those new TSA scanners? [3]Click
>> here to write a letter to your state legislators asking them to ban the
>> practice. We've already gotten a bill introduced in New York -- will
>> your
>> state be next?
