Public Policy advocacy is not one of the objectives that the
Foundation has chosen to measure with key performance indicator(s)? I
would like to know why.

I thought that was good, but does filing one action with the judicial
branch mean that the Foundation is no longer involved in the level of
legislative advocacy which has historically been necessary to keep the
community from losses to government abuse? The lawsuit will probably
take many years. Meanwhile moral panic-wielding jingoists are likely
to continue to try to push the same bills we've been fighting for
years.

We know that the same dangerous bills are going to come up again and
again. Will the Foundation stop fighting them just because the
community has grown weary of talking about them?
