		And the EFF can be the conduit that allows you to help change the world too, if you believe in our agenda of protecting liberty and privacy in the digital age.

	The Electronic Frontier Foundation by Jon Lebkowsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been established to help civilize the electronic frontier; to make it truly useful and beneficial not just to a technical elite, but to everyone; and to do this in a way which is in keeping with our society's highest traditions of the free and open flow of information and communication.
		EFF was founded partly because no civil liberties group like the ACLU had yet grapsed the civil liberties implications inherent in the nascent computer-mediated communications environment and evident to early adopters like Kapor and Barlow.
		EFF was formed with the foresight that the Internet and the Matrix (John Quarterman's term, inclusive of the Internet and all systems that share at minimum email across the Internet backbone) would grow and diversify, and that the future popularity, perhaps ubiquity, of the system would invite regulation.
