Here’s what I just sent to my representatives in Congress

Senator/Congressman/Congresswoman,

I am writing to you to express my concern over the proposed bills named SOPA and PIPA that are currently under review and will be voted on in Congress on January 24.

I hope you share my views and will exercise your power as Senator/Congressman/Congresswoman appropriately.

“What’s the problem?” I asked.

“We can’t send mail more than 500 miles,” the chairman explained.

I must admit, I’m a real sucker for old school sysadmin stories like this one.
