If I hear one more of you limp-wristed hippy pieces of shit threaten to move to Canada, I'm gonna send you an email for your personal information so I can buy you a motherfucking plane ticket! This is your country, if you are not willing to fight for your rights, you do not deserve them.
If you think that just because you voted for Kerry, you are absolved of defending your rights, you are wrong. We are the victims of a two-party system. It is the responsibility of the individual to clear their mind of the media white wash of them vs us, good vs evil, Republican vs Democrat; you must open your eyes.
This is not someone elses problem. This is not SG's problem. This is OUR problem!!!
Educate yourself and fight for your fucking rights!
The following letter was written by Subrosa he has given permission for it to be copied and pasted and sent to your congressman.
Dear [INSERT CONGRESSPERSON HERE],
I am writing you as a citizen of [INSERT DISTRICT HERE]. I am writing specifically because I am very concerned about the new wave of attorney general Alberto Gonzales's "War on porn", which seeks to target not just child pornography (which is reprehensible in every way and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law), but pornographic images and videos that depict consensual sexual acts between legal adults.
According to the Washington Post, Mr. Gonzales has ordered the FBI to target porn that features "includes bestiality, urination, defecation, as well as sadistic and masochistic behavior." I have no problem with authorities choosing to target pornographers that deal with material that is not consensual between both parties (child porn, bestiality, etc.), but when the government starts telling Americans what is acceptable for them to look at beyond those limitations, I am furious. I believe in freedom of speech, in freedom of the press and in freedom from governmental invasions of privacy. And I firmly believe that this new FBI task force is simply the Bush Administration's new wave of morality police come to tell me what I can and can't do with my free time.
This is unacceptable in view of the First Amendment of course, but also because it is diverting key resources from more worthy fights for the FBI to undertake (such as the war on terror or homeland security for instance.)
I urge you as a leader in your party and a congressperson with a strong record on individual liberties to take congressional action on this issue and let Mr. Bush and Mr. Gonzales know that the American people will no longer tolerate intrusions into their personal sexual choices or their freedom of expression.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS]

Click on the name of each representative and you will get their contact info as well as the number of your district (if it is a Representative in the House - for the Senators, just write your state where the letter says insert district).
I'm sure email would work just fine, but remember, there is never a substitute for the potency of a letter received in the mail. Hell, if you have time, do both!
This is your country. Stop complaining and defend it. This country was built on action, not complaints. If you would step aside and let someone else make your decisions for you, then you deserve your fate:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
Writing letters is a start, but not the whole battle. Anyone with better ideas, feel free to post them here!
*** Edited to add that I have emailed all three of my representatives just now and printed out letters to mail to them tomorrow. ***
