Public Knowledge has issued an action alert: "UPDATE: Say No to Copyright Filtering in Broadband Stimulus."
Here's an excerpt:
The House and Senate stimulus packages passed without copyright filtering language attached, but now the concern is that the language could return in the closed-door conference committee that works out the differences between the bills. Right now, we need you to contact those conferees and tell them to leave out this controversial provision.
Hollywood’s lobbyists are running all over the Hill to sneak in a copyright filtering provision into the stimulus package.
You can use the alert to send a message to your Congressional representative.
An older alert provides background information about a defeated amendment to the bill that lobbyists are apparently trying to revive in the conference committee.
