May I recommend #JillStein for President http://www.jillstein.org/?recruiter_id=148731 via @jillstein2012 #greenparty

The link to our Postling came out broken for some reason. Here it is
again, http://proclus.postling.com/

Hope it worked that time. ;-)

Today, I have really been enjoying this multibanding tool, Postling,
http://www.postling.com. There are already some good reviews of
Postling out there, so I'll make this short. If you have been using
Ping.fm, or HelloTxt, this may be the right time to migrate to
Postling. Here is a link to our example.

Postling has a neat display and interface, and the status updater can
auto-shorten your URL's with bit.ly, and link to your bit.ly account.
It alerts you when you have a message on Twitter, etc. There is a
paid service, which provides for multiple channels. This is just
scratching the surface, and it is well worth a look.
There is much more that I could say about redundancy of service, of
over-reliance on services like Twitter and Facebook, and of the
importance of multibanding social media for amplifying the democratic
voice in a manner that cannot be easily removed from the Internet.
I've said it all repeatedly elsewhere. Hope that my friends will take
it to heart, as I would not want some corporation to decide for me that I
should no longer hear their beautiful voices.

GNU-Darwin is currently offline, due to some bad UPS batteries. Hope
to bypass the UPS units soon, until I can order batteries.

Friends-

The Internet wins again! The advocates for the cyber-security bill failed to get enough support to proceed to a final vote on the legislation. They won't be reading your email and sharing your personal data -- anytime soon, at least.

Will you thank the senators who stood with us to protect privacy and Internet freedom? We'll need their help again soon:

You guys were amazing throughout this fight: Demand Progress members sent 500,000 emails to the Senate and made thousands of phone calls in opposition to the bill. Countless other activists took up this fight too -- groups like the ACLU, EFF, Center for Democracy and Technology, Fight for the Future, and Free Press.

Just as important was the coalition of senators working on the inside to stand up for our rights. There's a newly empowered corps of senators who've made it clear that they'll stand strong when the government threatens our privacy -- people like Ron Wyden (OR), Al Franken (MN), and Bernie Sanders (VT). Please click here to make sure they know that we're grateful, and that we'll stand with them too -- we'll have to fight this battle again sometime soon.

Thanks.
