Fax Your Rep

A legal document that happens to be furious.

One page. One legislator. Section numbers cited. Sent by fax, because Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.500(i) does not regulate fax machines. Every California state legislator voted yes on AB 1043 — 76-0 in the Assembly, 38-0 in the Senate. This form lets you tell one of them why that was a mistake.

No age verification required to send a fax.

Enter your address

We use the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder to map your address to congressional and state legislative districts. Your address is not stored, not logged, and not used for anything besides the lookup. No age is collected.

Full street address, city, state, ZIP. California launch only.
AB 1043 § 1798.501(a)(1) requires operating systems to collect your child's birth date. This form collects your street address for one HTTP request and throws it away. The contrast is intentional.

Pick a legislator to fax

California state legislators voted 76-0 in the Assembly and 38-0 in the Senate. Every person on this list who represents you in Sacramento voted yes. Federal representatives did not vote on AB 1043 (it is state law) — fax them about the federal KIDS Act and COPPA 2.0 instead.

What concerns you most?

Pick the frame that fits you. Each path cites the same statute and makes the same demand; the emotional lens is different. You can edit the text before sending.

Persona 01
The Parent
I already manage my kids' screen time. AB 1043 replaces my judgment with a state mandate and stores my child's birth date in every OS they touch.
Persona 02
The Developer
I build or maintain software. AB 1043 calls me an "operating system provider" and owes the state a real-time age verification API I cannot build.
Persona 03
The Student
I taught myself to code on a Linux computer. AB 1043 defines me as a "user" — which the law defines as "a child" — and punishes honest age self-declaration.
Persona 04
The Privacy Advocate
70,000 government IDs were stolen from Discord's age verification vendor in 58 hours. AB 1043 builds the next breach target at the OS level.

The Argument

The form is the argument. By the time you finish, you will understand AB 1043 well enough to answer questions about it. Each step teaches one thing about the statute.

The body below is the template for your persona. Customize it, add personal detail, cut what you do not want to say. Keep it to one page — the preview will warn you if you overrun. Section citations are load-bearing; leave them in.

Before we send

We verify that you are a real person with a working email address before spending the project's fax budget. We do not verify your age. We do not verify your ID. We do not verify your handwriting.
