&gt; ATLANTA (AP) _ Georgians who flood the Internet with spam e-mail 
&gt; could be charged with a felony under a bill proposed today by 
&gt; Governor Perdue. The Georgia Slam Spam E-Mail Act would punish 
&gt; spammers with a felony who send more than ten-thousand false or
&gt; misleading messages in one day, generate large amounts of money 
&gt; from spam or use minors to help them transmit the e-mails. The 
&gt; bill also outlines misdemeanor charges for lesser violations. 
&gt; Perdue urged legislators to pass the act -- quote -- &quot;so that 
&gt; Georgians can once again check their e-mail without having to 
&gt; wade through a cesspool of spam.&quot;  He made the announcement at 
&gt; the headquarters of Atlanta-based EarthLink. The Internet service
&gt; provider endorses the proposed legislation. Perdue says the state 
&gt; law would only allow law enforcement officials to prosecute 
&gt; spammers based in Georgia, but hoped other states would enact 
&gt; similar laws. EarthLink's C-E-O Garry Betty says about 80 percent 
&gt; of all e-mails are spam. That amounts to as many as 250 (m) million
&gt; messages a day
