I'm going to try to make it. Bring buttons and stickers! (People can put

So there will be no hearing and I think we won't have Room 2203.

I still plan to go to capitol hill (as a group of us preferably) in the morning and see what we can do. Would it make more sense to try to target the Senate or the House? I think Senate is back now and senators like Barbara Mikulski appear undecided.

I'm not as sure about the house members.

Five hours later old age exhaustion catching up with me and I have to save strength for nasty dental visit first thing Thursday, so I will have to control my urge to go.

Senate probably best, especially if you or someone actually lives in MD. Even if you are just that one little butterfly, you can start a hurricane!

I heard CNN or Fox reporters groaning about "what are we gonna do without wikipedia" when browsing the channels today. I'm sure some hill staffers trying to research stuff will too. So anything that reminds them of the importance of WHAT WIKIPEDIA DID is great!!

People who can make it at all, or at least call your reps office, go for it! Here's one site working on it with senate listings. Don't have time to look through emails for other groups.
