Lee AND ALL,
In light of what has gone on on this thread during the last 10 months some of you might be interested in this, and perhaps want to send an e-mail to your Senator, telling them that the internet is a place of abuse by all kind of unsavory characters (including me if you so believe), and that you want them to consider regulating the PROFESSIONALS (i.e. brokers, lawyers,etc.) who use/abuse the internet but that you do not believe in regulation that restricts the free flow of honest and truthful communications.
At any rate here is a list of the e-mail addresses of all Senators,which might be of interest.

Senators to weigh penny-stock scams
WASHINGTON (September 18, 1997 12:15 p.m. EDT) - A
Senate subcommittee next week starts looking into how well
state regulators, the Securities and Exchange Commission
and others have been policing penny stock fraud.
The investigations subcommittee of Senate Governmental
Affairs Committee, will take up the issue at a hearing Monday
amid concerns that despite Congress' 1990 reforms, there
has been an increase in scams involving these low-priced
stocks.
"Securities regulators estimate that penny stock abuses
result in the defrauding of American investors to the tune of
some $6 billion a year, three times the peak figure during the
1980s," Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine who chairs
the subcommittee, said Wednesday.
Collins said more Americans may be vulnerable to stock
scams because "millions of new investors have flocked to the
booming stock market."
"It is no wonder that these individuals, confronted with the
prospect of astronomical tuition bills for their children, or
escalating medical costs for themselves, succumb -- often
after relentless pressure -- to misleading sales pitches
promising high returns," Collins said.
SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt will testify before the panel, which
will also hear from consumers and other regulators.
The lawmakers will look into the SEC's recent enforcement
efforts and those that have been undertaken by state
securities regulators to root out micro-capital scam firms.
The panel will also investigate how to curb repeat offenders
who move from firm to firm.
"You have terrible repeat offenders who are still in the
industry," an aide said, adding that the panel will consider
tougher policing of individuals in addition to the companies
that employ them.
