The Maryland lower house has approved UCITA; there is a push to
get the state senate to approve it before the end of the
legislative session, on April 10.

To rush the consideration of this bill is even more obviously
foolish than the bill itself. So if you live in Maryland, please
phone or write to your state senator, saying the senate should at
least defer UCITA for summer study, if it is not rejected
outright.

If you know anyone in Maryland who works with computers,
please forward this message to that person and ask for per
support.
