But even that might not happen: Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), > Hollywood's own senator, told the committee that even she was > uncomfortable with the Internet censorship portion of the bill and hoped > it could be removed when they took it up again next year! > > This is incredible -- and all thanks to you. Just a month ago, the Senate > was planning to pass this bill unanimously; now even the senator from > Hollywood is backing away from it.
