Karen,

the petition you sent about AOL attacking political actism is the same issue 
I've sent other messages about.  Here is another message from Access Comp:

Sharon

Again... it's the same as before. These organizations will have the choice
of using this service or standard email.

Thanks: Gene Stevens
