send this out! (fwd)

Just got this from Finland. I don't know the exact voting days, but in case 
you haven't reached the equivalent phase yet, you might as well give a try.

>> A group of NEO-NAZIS are trying to form a newsgroup on Usenet called
>> "rec.music.white-power", so that they can get their message of hate out
>> to young people using the Internet.
>> Newsgroups are public discussions on the Internet and their formation
>> requires enough support from the Internet community.
>>
>> EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US HAS ONE VOTE when it comes to creating a new
>> Usenet group.  I hope you will vote NO and thereby tell these NAZIS we
>> don't want their stuff on the net. Below is the procedure, please repost
>> this plea and get the NO vote out.  If you want to see the official call
>> for votes, you can try on "news.group".

>>      DO NOT VOTE TWICE - that would constitute voting fraud.
>>
>>      HOW TO VOTE:
>>
>>      Send e-mail (posts to newsgroups are invalid) to:
>>
>>        music-vote at sub-rosa.com
>>
>>     This is an impartial, third party vote taker.
>>      Please check the address before you mail your vote. Your mail
>>      message,  to be accepted by the counting computer,  must
>>      contain only the following statement with no signature:
>>
>>         I vote NO on rec.music.white-power
>>
>>      Vote counting is automated.  Failure to follow these directions
>> may mean that your vote does not get counted.  If you do not receive
>> an acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker
>> about the problem.  It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is
>> registered correctly.
>>
>>      Here's what Canada's George Burdi, of the neo-Nazi Heritage
>> Front, had to say about this vote, on February 21, on his RESISTANCE
>> mailing list:
>>
>>    "There is a call for votes coming on rec.music.white-power
>>    in the next week or so, and you will be notified in a special
>>    issue of RREN exactly what to do.  FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
>>   TO THE LETTER.  Let me be perfectly blunt and state that we have
>>   more than enough net-nazis to win this thing handsdown. But every
>>   one of you must vote YES!  And just voting yes means nothing unless
>>  you do it properly.  So you have   been forewarned. The instructions
>> are coming to your email  box soon, and they are not complicated.
>> Just follow them as told, and we will have a WP music newsgroup
>> finally!"
>>
>> If Mr. Burdi's confidence disturbs you, please give this letter the
>> widest possible distribution, and help us deliver the largest NO vote
>> in the history of the UseNet.
