Dianne Feinstien's DC number is 202-224-3841.
I know Network Neutrality isn't high on most people list of priorities, but Di Fi is trying to get this language put in the Stimulus Package during the conference committee.
Obama's stimulus bill sets aside between $6bn and $9bn for expanding American broadband into rural areas, and Senator Feinstein hopes to (PDF) augment this Broadband Technology Opportunities Program so that it "allows for reasonable network management practices such as deterring unlawful activity, including child pornography and copyright infringement."

This is pretty bad. We've been fighting against this crap for several years now. They're using Child Porn as a straw man argument to allow internet service providers to spy on their customers.
Just call and tell her staff that you don't want the language to be added. Say you don't want ISPs to spy on their customers.
I'm sorry this isn't the best thought out post, but it's critical that people call right away. The conference over this bill is going on right now.
