 Subject: [free-culture] 9:30am Tomorrow: Will you be calling to stop the Peer 
to Peer File Sharing Hijacks Higher Education Reauthorization Bill?

 Free Culture @ NYU,

 Things have really come together in the last couple of
 hours. After sending out the last post

 
http://www.freeculturenyu.org/2007/11/12/congress-wants-to-break-nyus-internet-and-kill-your-financial-aid

 we've had a lot of people come out and offer their time for
 tomorrow. We've also renamed the "The College Opportunity and
 Affordibility Act of 2007" to the "Peer to Peer File Sharing
 Hijacks Higher Education Reauthorization Bill".

 We're going to be going through the list of representatives
 sponsoring this bill:

 
http://freeculture.org/blog/2007/11/12/congress-to-universities-filter-your-net-or-lose-funding

 and calling their offices tomorrow, asking to speak with their
 legislative directors so that we can make it clear that the
 provision of the bill that forces colleges to filter their
 students internet access should be removed.

 Free Culture @ NYU will happily supply the coffee and bagels, you bring your
 laptop and a Skypeout account, see

 or your cell phone!


 Here's the info:
 *
 Free Culture @ NYU Phone Bank
 Tuesday, November 13th @ 9:30am
 7th floor of Kimmel
 Washington Square South + La Guardia
 Free Coffee and Bagels*

 Come be a part of it so that you can tell your friends that you did
 something to help stop Congress from breaking NYU's Internet and financial
 aid.
