-
- sorry about the last one.
-
- Please read the following message that was sent to me from a friend.
- As a member of the Internet community, I feel that it is important for
- you to read this message and and follow the directions printed. THIS IS
- NOT CHAIN MAIL - I don't participate in that kind of stuff. I apologize
- if you have already received this message from someone else. Catch you
- all later.

- To whoever may read this,
-
- This is not a typical chain letter, in that by passing it on to as
- many people as you can, you are taking part in what may yet become the
- world's biggest practical joke. 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,
- and have a bit of fun at the same time.
-
- 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 limits
- being 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 the message:
-
- "Dear Mr. President,
- Do you remember this:"
-
- And afterwards enclose the pre-typed copy of the Bill of Rights. By
- sending the letter on the date above, 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 !!!!!
