Sounds like a plan. When you send it...just out of curiosity, let me
know exactly how many you send it to in the first wave. (Or have you
sent it already?)

Perhaps we can use this as an example to help set up a code of ethics
for this type of mailing. The most obvious rules from this case: make
sure to include some way for the recipient to independently verify what
you claim, and only spread the truth. (In this case, the "SSSCA" is
more or less well known among the halls of Congress, so any US
Representative or Senator should be able to confirm its existence.)
