Anybody want to have Congress ban POP-UP ads from the internet?
Please email your representative and let them know how you feel.
I am sick of clicking off all these danm things.
here are a couple links:

Try finding a freemarket solution. Why turn to the government to solve your problem?
Because I am paying for the government.
Let's ban capitalism while we're at it.
Try Mozilla.org for a fast and popup-free browser.
Go to this website and download the google toolbar.
http://toolbar.google.com/
After it installs, activate the popup blocker. It really works. Plus if give you a neet google search toolbar that will search the entore website or just within what ever website you are visiting.
I dislike pop-ups as much as the next guy. But on what basis can you justify Congress banning them? What would you say if they decided to ban your business next?
If we had less government you wouldn't have to pay as much.
Reckon they can stop the ads on the radio, tv, newspaper, magazines, flyers in the mail box, etc? I'm tired of seeing/hearing/receiving them......
Get a different browser, like Mozilla. No pop-up ads, tabbed browsing, etc. I love it and won't go back to MS Internet Explorer. In addition, the mail program bundled with the browser is terrific.
Take a little responsibility on your own.
There are several browsers and browser attachments that block pop-up ads.
Opera and IRider are two browsers that work just fine. I virtually never see a pop-up ad.
I am not saying ban advertisments. Just keep them from interfering with my computer without my consent.
It's already done. Freemarket solutions by Google, Yahoo and others. I use a google tool bar, but it is strictly your choice.

And is faster and less silly than waiting for congress to act correctly.

Yep Get the Government involved and you will be paying for the Internet too.
There ought to be a law, I tell you.
And left-wing writers of Simpsons episodes I don't like.
It's free, effective, and ad/spyware free.
As Mark Twain once said, "Be glad we don't get all the government we are paying for".
You mean like they banned "spam". They have a good track record, don't they.
