US Senators introduce bill to FORCE all device and software providers in the US to build backdoors into their products. Bill would make encryption ILLEGAL unless it had a backdoor for the US government. (see comments for how to stop this)

Well, I called my senators! Not sure if calling or email is better in this day and age, and I probably would have done better with a script and more education on the issue, but it seems important and clear enough to me from what I know now. Glad I did that. Didn't take too long, though I probably did sound a bit foolish. Oh well, better than not doing something.

They have some decent voice mail message though. "It's an honor to serve as your representative and I'm honored to hear your thoughts on current issues." We're supposed to engage with our government, guys. We're supposed to be on the same side. We're supposed to be working together to take responsible care of our country.
