I just wrote Betty McCollum asking her to oppose CISPA
I just sent this with the contact-form at her website:
Please oppose CISPA to protect whistle-blowers.
[p]
H.R. 3523, the 'Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act,'
will prevent anonymous whistle-blowing if passed.
[p]
The bill lets email-companies release emails related to 'theft or
misappropriation of private or government information.'
[p]
After a journalist writes an article about corporate wrongdoing,
the corporation will be able to tell the email-company that the
information in the article may have been stolen, and get the emails
sent to the journalist. The identity of the whistle-blower will be
revealed.
[p]
Government agencies will also be able to use CISPA to identify
whistle-blowers by getting emails to journalists.
[p]
Please oppose CISPA.
Feel free to use some of my words in contacting your Rep.
