Congressional Mass-Fax Campaign Launches in Silicon Valley as California Stands Up Against Global Warming

A Silicon Valley engineer announced today a new way for the public to use their computers to turn up the heat on Congress to take action on global warming. Every 1,800 participants will generate over 1 million Fax letters. “This new tool has the potential to deliver a wake-up call to every member of Congress, and every Governor, on a scale that has never been seen before,” said Lash.

Redwood City, CA (PRWEB) October 3, 2006 -- Inspired by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s historic signing of California’s Global Warming Solutions Act (AB 32), a Silicon Valley engineer announced today a new way for the public to use their computers to turn up the heat on Congress to take action.

“I am showing people how to use their PCs to automatically send 581 customized Fax letters to all U.S. Senators, Representatives, and Governors,” said Bob Lash, founder of the nonpartisan Global Warming National Fax-in campaign.

“Every 1,800 participants will generate over 1 million Fax letters.”

“This new tool has the potential to deliver a wake-up call to every member of Congress, and every Governor, on a scale that has never been seen before,” said Lash.

The campaign’s web site (www.bambi.net/faxin.html) provides downloadable tools and step-by-step instructions enabling anyone with a PC and unlimited long distance phone plan to participate.

Bob Lash is an original member of Silicon Valley’s Homebrew Computer Club, whose members, including Steve Wozniac, worked together to put the power of the computer into the hands of ordinary people. He is both an engineer and a medical doctor by training, and today develops medical devices for patient care.

“I feel fortunate to have been part of the group that triggered the personal computer revolution,” said Lash. “Now I feel compelled to help people use those computers to give them a louder voice on Capitol Hill.”
