Subject: [againstslaughter] IMPORTANT! Special Project
for HR 857!
Hi,
As you may be aware, Congress has returned from its winter recess.
Although we are currently very busy with SB 1921, we should not forget HR 857.
It is time to re-start submitting correspondence (letters, faxes and emails) and
phone calls. As I commented a few days ago, I
had a plan to gain support for HR 857. Here are the details:
My plan consists of a coordinated massive faxing campaign USING THE TPC INTERNET
TO FAX NETWORK. In this faxing campaign we will "hit" everyday a
pre-determined number of US Reps. and Senators, so the effectiveness of our
combined effort would be greater.
The following paragraph is very important, so please pay special attention: you
DO NOT HAVE TO USE YOUR FAX MACHINE, only your email browser. TPC Internet to
Fax Network is a FREE service provided by a series of servers (called
"cells") which process email messages sent
to a special email address into an analogic language understandable by the fax
machines. Once the message is processed, the server (cell) calls the fax number
you are attempting to contact and sends your message as a "normal"
fax. You do not even need to make a coversheet;
it is automatically added by the servers, you only have to put your contact info
at the end of the message and the name and address of the Congressmen you are
contacting on the heading. Every morning, about 6 am more or less, I will
post the list of Congressmen you should contact and their special email
addresses to do it so.
What you need to do is as follows:
1) Write a letter to the Congressmen asking them to SUPPORT and COSPONSOR HR
857. Please, keep it short (maximum about 1,5-2 Word Document pages using
"Times New Roman" font and size 8; if you use a larger font type and
size, keep the message shorter). Don´t forget to
add at the bottom line your full name, mailing and e-mail addresses, your phone
number as well as the name and address of the Congressmen you are contacting.
You DO NOT need to do a coversheet, TPC Network provides a predetermined one to
the person you are attempting to reach.
2) Paste it on your email browser, like if you were sending a common email
message.
3) Send it to the correspondent special email address of the list I will post
every morning.
If your fax has been successfully sent and printed on the correspondent fax
number, the server which processed your message will send you an email
notification. If it fails, it also sends you a notification. You can resend it
later.
Also, please ask your family, friends and work/class partners to collaborate on
this. You can crosspost this message and the list I will post everyday, so they
can also take part! It is so easy and it only takes less than two minutes to fax
them! Remember, the more people faxing them the more chances we have to gain
support for HR 857!
IMPORTANT NOTICE!: Please, send only one message per Congressmen. That´s
because since TPC is a free service, provided by people who donated their
servers, the number of messages you can send per day, as well as the number of
pages sent are limited. If you exceed that limits you would be banned and the
server will NOT process and send your fax. Depending on the cell, the maximum
number of faxes allowed per day is about 6. Please, be careful with this.
Also, TPC network has limitations. Since it is made from donated servers, their
coverage is limited. Only a few states have coverage, most of them partial. The
two only places where there is full coverage are Washington, DC and Texas (the
entire state). Unfortunately Illinois has no coverage so we cannot use TPC
network for SB 1921.
We will start today with the following Congressmen:
