b.t.w., the issues that affect me the most?

[acroyear]

aren't in any way shape or form party-line politics nor have they ever been (or will ever be) mentioned by either candidate:

• The DMCA, an utterly unconstitutional prohibition on free trade and fair use rights
  
• The Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act, effectively destroying the entire concept of a public domain that the founding fathers valued very highly.  I love Mickey Mouse as much as the next guy and I don't want to see him out shilling for gas either, but enough is enough.
  
• The current practice of Patents as applied to business processes and software, which directly affects my rights to use the software I want, write the software I need to write, and free myself from the Microsoft monopoly.

Tax cuts are nothing. These issues directly affect my life, my lifestyle, and my livelyhood, and nobody running for any office (except Rich Boucher in southwestern Virginia) gives a shit about them at all.
