THANKS,DERF1,For your kind word of encouragement...here is a congressional letter you could send to your representative:

TO:
Recently the SEC announced 'Operation Spamalot' during which the trading of 35 companies was halted due to what they stated was repeated spamming campaigns. I am a shareholder in
one of the company they have targeted, Equitable Mining (EQBM). From publically availableinformation, myself and other shareholders of EQBM can find no reason why EQBM was included in this effort. By one site's account, only 8 spam e-mails have ever been recorded for EQBM, the latest of which was over 14 months ago. On the other hand, the SEC has looked
past 19 of the top 20 recorded spam offenders, some of which number in the 1000+ offenses in e-mails. To date, the SEC has been unresponsive both to EQBM's shareholders and to EQBM's CEO as to the real reason why they suspended trading of this company, and is why the shareholders have now turned to their representatives to try and find some understanding in
their actions. I appreciate any information that you or your staff may be able to provideregarding this matter.

Apart from the devastation the SEC's actions wreck on the shareholders and companies, there is mounting evidence that Operation Spamalot is a hoax. Possibly to deflect some of the
attention placed on the SEC because of recent "stock shorting" scandals.

Please note that most of the stocks on the list (including EQBM) do not spam in any significant way. At the same time, many more heavily spammed stocks are ignored by the SEC.

See, for instance, this link:

http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=17725043&txt2find=spamnation+

This link compiles the spam emails of stocks on the SEC's 35 offending companies and compares it to spam emails received by stocks generally. Only one of the SEC's 35 is among
the worst offenders and four have sent ZERO spams! (Note: EQBM is very low on the list with only 8.)

I would ask you to note that even the SEC does not claim that the companies themselves sent these spam emails, but that they are the victims of “boiler room” operations. Thus honest
companies and small honest investors are devastated while no action whatsoever is taken against the accused perpetrators.

I ask finally that you note the small size of these companies as compared to the fanfare and press exposure the SEC has given itself. I submit that, far from protecting investors,
the SEC has merely rounded up the usual suspects in an effort to mask the fact that it is not fulfilling its role as regulatory watchdog and it has done so to the financial
detriment of many small, honest investors.
It appears that the SEC's motives for the suspension were not on our behalf, rather theopposite, akin to the DTCC's chill on the Soma divis. ie: That powerful people were caught
in NSS in the divi snafu, and the suspension may provide a means for them to cover EQBM cheaply on the gray market, and possibly cover Soma divis if EQBM suspension concerns can
downdraft SA1.

Call it conspiracy theory if you like. But also consider this week's conviction of Scooter Libby. Corruption exists in gov't, always has and always will. And money & influence buy
corruption.
