EXACTLY!

I just pledged an additional $500 to the ICA. Who will match it?

I am not a political person - in fact I hate politics. But we need to stop this. If you make money from domain names, you need to help the ICA. Who else is going to stand up for us? The public perception is that we are all lazy and cybersquatters. The bill is called the Anti-Phishing Consumer Protection Act. What senator or congressman will vote against it? NONE. We need the legislation changed. The ICA is our best chance.
