They keep coming and coming and coming.....They are hell-bent on getting something like this through, and they will keep trying until we get tired of fighting back and let one slip by.
Call, write, read them the riot act, and STOP this.

Senator warns Cybersecurity Act has same privacy problems as CISPA
22 May 2012
Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has come out against the Democratically sponsored Cybersecurity Act, comparing it to the controversial Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) in terms of privacy concerns.
Wyden termed the Cybersecurity Act (S 2105) an overreaction to cybersecurity threats that would undermine privacy rights. He said the Senate bill suffers from the same defects as the controversial CISPA, which passed the House last month, according to a report by The Hill newspaper.
...
Wyden said the Senate bill should be more specific about what types of data can be shared and which agencies can have access to it. He argued it should be tougher for companies to secure legal immunity under the legislation.
....
The Democratic leadership is trying to bring the Cybersecurity Act to the Senate floor for a vote, but so far Republican opposition has stymied that effort.
