A Call to Action! - Specific Political-Action Techniques for Netvolks
[Part of my April, 1995, BoardWatch column --jim]
In that issue of BoardWatch, after detailing a sequence of specific threats
to constitutional civil liberties in current congressional proposals, I
wrote:
All of this can have a massive chilling effect on freedom of (electronic)
speech, freedom of (net-based) press and freedom of (online) assembly.
It's Up To Us
Especially in the case of technology-related threats, it is up to the
online community to sound the alarm and pursue redress.
Congress critters and their aides are generally naive and ignorant of the
complexities and ramifications of computerized information and borderless
global networking, and their ramifications for traditional civil liberties.
They are easily sold a bill of goods by adroit bureaucrats seeking - in all
sincerity and good faith - evermore power and more convenience for its
exercise.
The general-circulation press - including, God help us!, the broadcast
"press" - are normally the Fourth Estate of government, responsible for
warning and educating the body politic about threats from the government.
However, with too-few exceptions, most of the working press is almost as
naive and ignorant as are the federal legislators.
So it falls to us to inform them and urge their diligent attention to these
technology-related public-policy issues that - if ill-considered decisions
are permitted - can end freedom as we know it.
Fortunately, we have the two absolute prerequisites for a free society:
Timely access to adequate information on which to base sound decisions
about our national and global community, and operational
mass-communications mechanisms that permit about 35-million members of the
body-politic to conduct timely communications with itself.
We must use this power to help reach the remainder of the public, educate
the press, and pursue Congress - to inform, to advocate, and shine the
bright light of informed insight on technological policies that will impact
the entire nation.
The first mechanism for escalating press and legislative attention is to
escalate public attention. Tell your friends, business associates and
neighbors. Spread the word online and in the "real" world. Do it now.
(First, Flame the Press)
Sadly - infuriatingly - the general-circulation print press, with a few
laudable exceptions, systematically refuses to explain the issues and
policy alternatives to their general readership.
"It's too complicated." Translation: The editor can't figure it out or a
reporter can't make it entertaining.
"Our readers wouldn't be interested." Translation: We'll give front-page
coverage to the FBI's arrest of a computer-cracker, but we won't devote a
solitary column-inch to explaining how the FBI aids crackers by opposing
crime prevention via standardized, end-to-end robust encryption in global
datacomm and cell-phone broadcasts.
"There's not room for it." Translation: After the four-paragraph daily
report on O.J.'s afternoon snack, there's no room left to mention the
multi-decade impacts of national information and communications policy.
"We've covered it - just look in the business section." Of course! Where
else would the average news-paper reader look for articles about
congressional [in]action and national policy that will impact everyone's
daily lives for decades to come?
And as to the broadcast "press" - Computer-cracker Mitnick in handcuffs is
only useful for one or two inaccurate and incomplete voice-over
explanations by an ill-informed news-anchors who wants some angle that
won't offend their credit-card, cell-phone and personal-computer
advertisers.
In its endless preoccupation with what's "interesting" - entertaining to
adults with 5th-grade reading skills - most of the Fourth Estate is
totally-failing its most crucial responsibility to the nation - to spread
the word about the long-term ramifications of major national
policy-proposals.
In fairness, however, they did give extensive coverage to the Exclusionary
Rule "Reform" Act and its efforts to demolish what remains of the 4th
Amendment. But they did so in what was for the most part, pallid,
passionless presentations that made nary a mention of even one of the
numerous abuses of police power - historical and current - that led to the
4th Amendment and the Exclusionary Rule in the first place.
Okay, now that that's out of our system ...
HELP the Press
It's not that the press doesn't care - it's that most editors and reporters
don't understand the ramifications of computers and networks, don't have
the time or resources to learn, and don't realize its universal public
importance. Help them:
It's said that all politics is local. Contact your local newspaper(s) and
local teevee news desk.
Arrange to meet with the editor-in-chief, editorial-page editor, political
reporter(s), political columnist(s) and the technology reporters who are
usually imprisoned in the business pages. Contact the evening news shows'
producers and assistant producers - and broadcast reporters if you can.
Write to them, and write letters to the editor for publication. (Understand
that they don't have any time and will be wondering about your motives in
contacting them.) Vigilantly limit letters to one page, but include
enclosures if needed.
Approach issues in terms of information and communications - which is their
turf - rather than computers and networks. Especially emphasize FOI issues
- freedom of information, and agency's attempts to suppress it. Hot stuff
for journalists.
Urge that these public-policy issues be covered in the news and features
sections, rather than relegating all technology-related stories to the
business pages in lockstep fashion.
Urge the technology reporter(s) to give more attention to the public-policy
issues, rather than monastic preoccupation with gadget stories and money
reports. Most of 'em would love to weasel some stories into the
general-news pages.
If it bleeds, it leads. Reporters do not write about theoretical
generalizations and political philosophy; they write about people.
Emphasize the human aspects and community impacts - on everyone - of
technology-related public-policy decisions. Where possible, cite one or
several actual cases that involve local people, that illustrate your points
- preferably without going to extremes for the examples.
Every time there's a policy-related technology story, immediately fax a
letter to the editor that pitches a policy point that needs to be
publicized, springboarding off of the story. E.g., every time there's a
story about billion-dollar cell-phone fraud, or computer crackers, or phone
phreaques, use it to hammer the point that our government is leaving us
unnecessarily defenseless to these losses and intrusions.
And Oh Yes, Congress ...
Essentially use the same tactics on Congress. Don't go for your elected
representative, unless you are an "important person" or know them
personally or are going in representing a group - they're honestly too busy
for the 500,000 or so mere humans that they represent.
Go for their aides - these are the folks who do have access to your
representatives, and do have time to talk with you. And much of the time,
they are the ones who actually develop policy and legislation anyway, often
guided by their legislator. Meet with them in person, whenever possible.
In spite of my vitriolic, sarcastic cynicism and paranoia, assume that
almost all cops, bureaucrats, public officials, elected representatives,
congressional staffers, reporters and editors ARE honest; ARE trying to do
a good job; DO work hard; and, ARE trying to make things better. In all the
experience I have had, I have found this true - though one sometimes gets
to quibble over what's "better."
Either we do it - or we've had it. Let's get on with it.
Don't worry about what state you live in; newspapers rarely care where you
come from as long as you've read the article on which you're commenting,
at least if you're writing from cyberspace! Keep 'em short and don't
stress about repeating others' arguments: there have been remarkably few
letters in any newspaper on this subject.
Helpful files:
Below are the e-mail addresses for letters to the editor of hundreds of
