Ten Things That You Can Do

press release to newspapers, TV stations, magazines and the rest of the media

Next to signing the petition this is the most important thing you can do.



2. E-Mail Our Sign the Petition Message to at least 10 people

Make sure to have them e-mail it to ten people they know. NO SPAMMING (unsoliticited e-mail) PLEASE .


3a. Give Janet Reno and Joel Klein a piece of your mind at 1 (888) 736 5287

The DOJ Antitrust Division has a a hotline for people to get information about the division or "report possible anticompetitive activities". Call their toll-free Judas line at 1-888-736-5287 and tell them to stop punishing American heroes and to go after real criminals--such as those who violate individual rights (Oops that would be the DOJ!). Here is an idea-- read our petition to them.

3b. Give your state attorney general a piece of your mind
and if they voted for antitrust, give them none of your votes
NEW!
