Cory Doctorow urges us to contact Senator Kohl, along with others and urge him to stop Hollywood’s special interests from inserting the broadcast flag requirement into a Senate appropriations bill today. The broadcast flag is yet another reduction in our fair use rights.

This is a classic dead of night, end of game maneuver. The Wisconsin Senator has voted against our interests recently, including the National ID bill, the bankruptcy bill (more) and large corporate giveaways. I hope he does the right thing today. Call his office: (202) 224-5653 or send an email. I cannot see any benefit to Wisconsin residents of Kohl’s recent efforts. More on the Senator’s votes here. The EFF has more. Roger Simon correctly points out that Hollywood’s real problem lies with their declining product quality.
