>>>To whoever may read this,
>>>This is not a typical chain letter, in that by passing it on to as many
>>people as you can, you are taking part in what may yet become the world's
>>biggest practical joke. The U.S. Government has recently passed an act which
>>enforces censorship on the internet. A group of internet users has now come
>>together to kick back at this oppression, and have a bit of fun at the same
>>time.
>>>The aim of this exercise is to re-establish the United States as "The land
>>of the Free", not a fascist state where freedom of speech and thought are
>>curtailed. Communist Russia fell as a result of such limits being placed
>>upon the minds of the general populous. On receiving this letter, please
>pass
>>it on to as many friends or E-mail lists as you can. We predict that if
>>everybody copies the letter to 5 other addresses, by February 29th 1996,
>>this letter should have reached in excess of 2 million people. That's when
>>the fun begins........  By sending the letter on the date above, you will 
>>contribute to either one huge petition for freedom, or else lead to a crash
>>of the Whitehouse server.
>>
>>On February 29th, please send the following message to:
