[bestbits] RE: [webwewant] Final text and endorsements

I am happy to be listed for Global Partners.  Since Andrew is tied up in Tunis (many hours ahead of U.S. timezones), it will be easier for me to handle inquiries.

Subject: [webwewant] Final text and endorsements 
 
I'm attaching a PDF version of the letter to Congress with the 155 endorsements that we now have.  If any last-minute endorsements are posted online, please CC them to me as well so that I can update the PDF.

Please also identify whether you are interested in being listed as a contact person for any follow-up communications (the four given in the draft below are arbitrarily chosen to represent a few major regions).  Here is a suggested covering email:

Dear Senators and Representatives,

We write as a coalition of civil society groups from around the world, who work towards the promotion of human rights on the Internet.

We attach a letter, endorsed by 155 organisations and individuals, expressing in the most serious terms our alarm at revelations of Internet and telephone communications surveillance of US and non-US citizens by the US government.

For further enquiries or follow-up, representatives of a number of the endorsing organisations are at your service:
