[fcb-l] Fw: [leadership] FW: FreeConference needs your help

[Shelley Justice]

I would certainly support this, as I believe that free conferencing is a 
valuable and very helpful service. However, I am a bit confused. Wouldn't 
government people and members of the legislature also find this service 
helpful? why would they support legislation that would affect them in a 
negative way? wouldn't they be cutting their own throats, or do they have a 
phone conferencing service all their own?

> Dear Mitch,

> As a user of FreeConference, we need your immediate help to save free

> information that may end all free teleconferencing services, ultimately
> forcing you to pay for services that you currently enjoy for free. 
> Together
> and through quick action, we can prevent this from happening.

> We need you and your colleagues that use FreeConference to contact your
> Member of Congress right away to voice your opposition to this potential
> change that, if enacted, will increase your costs of conducting conference
> calls.

> Your Congressman needs to understand that eliminating your ability to
> communicate with your business and non-profit colleagues through free
> teleconferencing services is unfair, unacceptable and anti-competitive.
> Additionally, large telephone companies are alleging that customers of 
> free
> teleconferencing services are using these services for pornographic and
> controversial activities. We need you to tell Congress that this is simply
> not true.
