[Tfug] NCCUSL (National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws) is meeting here in Tucson until August 2nd to discuss the UCITA?

[Chris]

If they're important enough in influencing states'
laws, then I suppose we should go and protest.
Any ideas on how we can make a positive, constructive
impression, and not have to be out in the hot sun all day?

I can honestly protest as a software developer and software vendor
opposed to UCITA.  But because that's what I really am, I can't
afford to take the day off--just to go up there and try to use
my time efficiently.

We should also forward some links around to articles that have
good discussions of UCITA, if we want to really go up and do
a meaningful protest.  People may ask us questions and we'll need to
factually, honestly answer them.
