No offense, but I think your market will be to the more cautious companies
and individuals who don't quite have the cajones to stand up to the US
Government and tell them to keep their nose where it belongs -- up each
others' .....

<i>>- - what could be the pro/cons?</i>

I really don't see any cons for you, the cons are for us Americans who are
losing the opportunity to host this information because of our stodgy
bureacrats.

<i>>- - how can we reach qualified customers?</i>

You already have, to an extent -- on this list. But seriously, get on some
democracy oriented listservs and post a very similar message as this one.
The InterEdge Top 40 this week is comprised largely of political sites that
wil point you in this direction. Check it out at

&lt;i&gt;&amp;gt;- - any tips on how to market this service?&lt;/i&gt;

Press releases to American magazines and newspapers, I'd suggest with a
slant on how this is an example of how the CDA hurts American business --
sensationalize it!

Good luck,
