Aaron's death was tragic -- and unnecessary. Please help make sure something like this never happens again :

1) Support Aaron's Law and further amend the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act to make sure nobody's prosecuted for victimless alleged crimes.

2) Supporting an inquiry into Aaron's case and other abusive prosecutions -- and punish all wrongdoing.
