Subject: Lobby day on Microsoft


Dear friends,

NetAction is in the process of organizing a lobby day in Washington 
to make Congress aware of consumer concerns about Microsoft's 
anti-competitive business practices.  The event is scheduled for 
Monday, Sept. 15, and a small committee of volunteers is working with 
me on outreach and logistics.

Jamie Love has suggested we prepare a list of the specific actions we 
want to request of Congress.  One thing we expect to ask is that 
members sign onto the letter that Senators Burns, Stevens, and Thomas 
recently sent to FTC Chairman Pitofsky, asking the FTC to step in 
again because of the Justice Department's failure to adequately 
enforce the consent decree.

If any of you have other suggestions for specific actions to request 
of Congress with regard to Microsoft, I'd like to hear from you.  The 
planning committee will be discussing this over the next couple of 
weeks.

Also, we hope to have other organizations as co-sponsors of the lobby 
day, so please let me know if your organization can participate, either 
by joining us on Sept. 15, or by notifying your constituents/members 
about the event.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Audrie
