So, if I live on 34th and Patterson, are you my wanna-be rep? What
exactly is the area of district 40? Details, man, details.
Now that we have you, what are your stances about "geek issues",
including, but not limited to the following:
Cryptography
Anti-trust and MS
Protection of Personal Data
Censorship as far as child protection is concerned
Cheers
