We all complain how the media are actively ignoring the crypto issues
during the campaign. Here's a chance for us to quickly do something with
some impact beyond our group.
I'm looking insert an (1000-2000 word) op-ed piece or letter to the editor
in my local Sunday paper presenting a non-technical,
Libertarian/cypherpunk, view of the present crypto situation, our
objections to the government's proposals, etc. Does anyone have a
suggestion on where to find such an animal? I'd rather not spend the next
day or two writing one.
Perhaps we could coordinate a plan to have the same piece inserted next
Sunday in various newspapers.
