Good work, Phillip. If anyone want to link to Democrats Against Berman from their site--any site, anywhere, however inconspicuous--that will help Democrats Against Berman be a top search result on "Howard Berman." Just be sure the link says "Howard Berman." http://www.slumdance.com/democratsagainstberman/ I think I might buy a Google AdWord for "Howard Berman," too. Then call his office and tell them to do a search.

Hmm, they didn't even ask for my address, which tells me that they don't care one whit what I think. I told them I was a Republican, which I think is still technically true on the books, though my voting record wouldn't make that obvious. I did say that Smith's support of nanotechnology was commendable but expensive, but the idea of using federal resources to enforce civil laws is "simply insane."

Bravo, Brian! Conveniently, I note that Lamar Smith is in my state (though not my district), and I have a little free time here, so...

Classic Brian, thanks! You are a man of conviction and action - not always the right conviction, but I kid. Great job, glad you're on this one, maybe something will actually happen.

Congressman Howard Berman (D-Van Nuys) Washington telephone number: 202-225-4695. "Congressman Berman's office." "Hello, my name's Brian Flemming. Who am I speaking with?" "Zack." "Zack, as a Democrat from Los Angeles I'm calling to register my opposition to HR 2517." "And what's your address?" "[address] That's not in his district, but I actually grew up in his district and I voted for the guy once, and I'm really regretting that I did. Between this and that other bill be sponsored to destroy my computer if I was suspected of copying copyrighted files...Zack, this is insane." "...'is...insane.' I'll definitely pass this on." "I would never campaign for a Republican against a Democrat, but I'm seriously considering going to Van Nuys and doing just that if he stands for reelection. I want that guy out of there. I consider him an enemy of freedom." "We've been getting some calls." "I'm furious about this. I feel betrayed." "I've noted all this down. Thanks for your comments. I will pass them on." "Thanks, Zack." PLEASE CALL ZACK 202-225-4695 HE HAS A SORE THROAT, SO YOU GET TO DO A LOT OF TALKING If you're a Democrat, especially, let Zack know you are thinking of joining the Democrats Against Berman movement. Wait... (one hour later) ...tell Berman's office to check out the Democrats Against Berman website at www.slumdance.com
