Sender: "David Heck" <David.Heck> I agree! Organize and get involved. I just signed up with the NFIB and they seem to be aware of the problems posed by this legislation, and will be sending out surveys to members, and forwarding our concerns as small business owners to the appropriate congress critters (VON, CDA, Telco reform, etc.) For all you small ISP's, Websites, consultants, etc. this is a great way to maximize your effect per dollar spent. the NFIB has a very good track record on keeping the pulse of the small business community, and promoting its members' concerns to Washington, that they are rated as 'one of the top 10 most effective lobbying/interest groups', according to a recent Fortune magazine survey of Capitol Hill staffers.. NFIB's phone number : (615)872-5800. Heads up, and Tally Ho!
