H.R.1981 Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act of 2011
I am writing as your constituent in the 2nd Congressional district of Maryland. I am writing as your constituent in the 2nd Congressional district of Maryland. I oppose H.R.1981 - Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act of 2011, and am tracking it using OpenCongress.org, the free public resource website for government transparency and accountability.

Legislation Before Congress




Dear Mr. Campbell:



Thank you for getting in touch with me to express your views about the
Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act (H.R. 1981). It's
good to hear from you.



I appreciate knowing of your opposition to this legislation. One of my
guiding principles here in the Senate is that Marylanders have a right
to know, to be heard, and to be represented. Information from people
like you is essential if I am to be not only the Senator from Maryland,
but also the Senator for Maryland. Knowing of your views will be very
helpful to me.



Thanks again for contacting me. If I can be of assistance in the
future, or if there is any other federal legislation on which you would
like to comment, please feel free to let me know.


Sincerely,
Barbara A. Mikulski
United States Senator

Note to Congressional staff & elected officials reading this: this letter was sent through Contact-Congress features on OpenCongress.org, a free public resource website, but in the future we seek to compel the U.S. Congress to adopt fully open technology for constituent communications. For more information how your office can better handle public feedback through an open API and open standards, contact us -- even today, there are significantly more efficient and responsive ways for our elected officials to receive email feedback than the status quo of individual webforms. For greater public accountability in government, we must make the process of writing one's members of Congress more accessible and empowering. Looking ahead, we will release more data from Contact-Congress letters and Congressional response rates back into the public commons. This will result in a new open data source on bills & issues people care about, as well as encourage best practices in constituent communications and make it possible to grade members of Congress on their responsiveness & citizen satisfaction.
