Hi,
Facebook, Twitter campaign by ourselves will help. I can see some doing it
already.
The Indian Wikimedia chapter can consider circulating a press release
clarifying this.
A banner campaign can be the last resort.

I think right now, we can start by sending out a message to everybody who we
know?
Spread the message?
On Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, IRC etc. ?
Or wear a T-shirt [I know it's stupid, I can get one though].
I'm serious about all of these, we need to do something. I have had numerous
arguments with Ju

Nikhil,
While I would love to agree with you, given the turn legislation has been

Somebody needs to get in touch with WikiLeaks staff and get the same thing
