Jefsey and all assembly members,

  This is a interesting suggestion or proposal from Straton that has some
obvious problems.  One of which you pointed out, Jefsey.  I also see
a couple of others.

- Such a system would be circumvented almost immediately by
   selecting a Phone Number that is simply and answering service.

- Web addresses would end up in many cases to be of a bogus
   nature or Advertising banner pages for porn sites and the like.
