      <pageblurb>IPac is a nonpartisan group dedicated to preserving individual freedom through balanced intellectual property policy.

We believe that technological innovation and individual creativity are vital to the future of this country. We believe that a prosperous and democratic society depends on freedom for all individuals to pursue scientific invention and artistic expression. Unfortunately, new intellectual property laws threaten to stifle these freedoms and restrict public participation in science, art, and political discourse.

Your donation to IPac will enable us to support candidates, track legislation, and reach out to people who care about creativity and innovation.</pageblurb>

      <pageblurb>Rick Boucher has been one of the public&amp;apos;s greatest champions on IP-related issues, and now his opposition has launched an enormous advertising blitz to unseat him.  Rep. Boucher wrote and introduced the &lt;a href="http://ipaction.org/dmcra.html"&gt;Digital Media Consumers&amp;apos; Rights Act&lt;/a&gt; (DMCRA, H.R. 107) last year, and he consistently fights for the public&amp;apos;s rights to use new technology in innovative ways.

      <pageblurb>Democratic candidate Brad Carson is in a tight race for the U.S. Senate in Oklahoma, and we&amp;apos;re happy to lend our support to his campaign.  Brad recently signed on to IPac&amp;apos;s

of principles&lt;/a&gt;, and now we&amp;apos;re helping him raise money so that he can fight for balanced intellectual property policy in Congress.  Please support his campaign with a donation.</pageblurb>
