I really appreciate getting your message about the so-called 
     "Communications Decency Act."
     
     On February 9, I introduced S. 1567, a bill to repeal this misguided 
     attempt to censor the words used and topics discussed on the Internet. 
     You can find the text of the bill and a copy of my full statement at:

     Rather than use the heavy hand of government censorship, I believe we 
     should encourage parents to use the growing number of technical tools 
     available to control what their children may access on-line.
     
     We have a long, hard struggle ahead of us to reverse this misguided 
     law.  I am heartened and encouraged by the outpouring of support from 
     Internet users all over the country in support of my efforts to 
     protect our First Amendment rights when we go on-line.  We must all 
     keep working to convince a majority of Senators that we need to 
     approach this whole issue rationally and sensibly.  Grassroots support 
     like yours is important to make this happen.
     
     Please stay in touch.
