  Months before, They had signed the same with IEEE too..

But IEEE already have an established track record of seeing the rest  
of the whole world as slaves. But I dont think Individuals inside ACM  
or IEEE are having such a view. These measures are to be resisted and  
voiced up inside the organisation itself. We should be having enough  
friends inside these organisations who know the value of Freedom and  
its their time to voice up.
  What about mailing the office bearers of these organisations at  
different places alerting of this chains their new generation is  
imposed to use?
