What needs to be done is get the word out about what bitcoins are truly about, not the word of ignorant media whore senators. The more good press we get the harder it will be for the two senators to try and go after it. If we get enough positive press it could become political suicide for them to continue. We need to counter the assumptions they are spreading around and show what bitcoins are about and what they represent. Also let the world know the uses and potential that bitcoins have. This is why i am glad MtGox is jumping in. They have the power to protect bitcoins.
