On Monday, software patents are likely to be passed by the
Fisheries and Agriculture Ministries.

Dear FFII supporter [1],

at the Agricultural Council's meeting next Monday, the
Software Patent Directive is likely to be inserted into the
list of agenda items in the last minute. The aim seems
to be to preempt ongoing efforts in the European
Parliament for a restart of the procedure. [2]

Please write today to your minister of Agriculture,
Fisheries and other political representatives, 
and ask to have the software patent directive taken off 
the agenda.

Usable argumentation can be found on the webdemo
page at

At

    http://demo.ffii.org/cons0501/

you moreover find banners and instructions on how to help
spread the word, so that the campaign can reach media and 
decision-makers.

Kind regards, Felix Klee, Holger Blasum

Not that I have anything much against redundancy. But I said that already.
