What we need is to disband congress as it is now and go back to the way congress used to be. no more lawyers, bankers, corporate CEO's. Just plain folk who own farms, bike shops, pet stores and gun shops. Have em meet like they used too as well.

what we need to do here as well!
Lawoffices of Dewey,Shaftem & Howe are running far too many things!

The ACLU sent me something on it the while back. I had forgotten to write my congressmen about it and telling them that they need to vote against it. People privacy needs to be protected. After all, such information will be misused.

* White House threatens Cispa veto

The US House of Representatives has passed the controversial Cyber Information Sharing and Protection Act.

Cispa is designed to help combat cyberthreats by making it easier for law enforcers to get at web data.

This is the second time Cispa has been passed by the House. Senators threw out the first draft, saying it did not do enough to protect privacy.

Cispa could fail again in the Senate after threats from President Obama to veto it over privacy concerns.

A substantial majority of politicians in the House backed the bill.

The law is passing through the US legislative system as American federal agencies warn that malicious hackers, motivated by money or acting on behalf of foreign governments, such as China, are one of the biggest threats facing the nation.

"If you want to take a shot across China's bow, this is the answer," said Mike Rogers, the Republican politician who co-wrote Cispa and chairs the House Intelligence Committee.
'Fatally flawed'

Cispa has also secured the backing of several technology firms, including the CTIA wireless industry group, as well as the TechNet computer industry lobby group, which has Google, Apple and Yahoo as members. By contrast, the social news website Reddit has been vocal in its opposition to the bill. In March, Facebook said it no longer supported Cispa.

The bill could fail again in the Senate after the Obama administration's threat to use its veto unless changes were made. The White House wants amendments so more is done to ensure the minimum amount of data is handed over in investigations.

The American Civil Liberties Union has also opposed Cispa, saying the bill was "fatally flawed". The Electronic Frontier Foundation, Reporters Without Borders and the American Library Association have all voiced similar worries.

Cispa's authors say existing amendments have addressed many of the criticisms and more oversight was being given to data before it was handed over.

I was able to send an e-mail to two of my representatives in congress telling them to stop the bill. We have the 4th amendment for a reason.
