John,

I just got your message & I just voted, but they may not accept it, because
today is the 20th, & you said voting closed on the 18th.

>>Subject: Racist newsgroup proposal alert!
>>
>>There is currently a proposal for the newsgroup rec.music.white-power,
>>an attempt by neo-nazi racists to legitimize their activities. It is now
>>in the CFV stage, where anyone with a valid e-mail address may vote.
>>
>>"White power" racist music is not a legitimate form of music deserving of
>>a separate rec.music newsgroup, but rather a political group masquerading
>>as a musical one. And, the rec.* hierarchy is inappropriate because rec.*
>>is for recreational activities, and racism is anything but recreational.
>>
>>But, most importantly, we must show the racists that they will not be
>>granted a mainstream forum in order to promote hate. If you don't want
>>a Usenet where minorities feel unwelcome and uncomfortable, vote NO on
>>rec.music.white-power. Let's make this a crushing defeat for racists.
>>
>>To vote, send e-mail to music-vote@sub-rosa.com and put
>>
>>I vote NO on rec.music.white-power
>>
>>in the body of the message.
>>
>>The actual CFV can be found on news.announce.newsgroups,
>>or by sending a blank e-mail to music-cfv@sub-rosa.com.
>>
>>Voting ends 23:59:59 UTC, 18 Mar 1996, so act quickly!
