I regret that I do not speak Brasilian Portugese.
I have read (translations of) many of your representations against Microsoft's
attempts to control the software economy of your country, and recently that
they are suing you for defamation:

If I was in your electorate I would be writing to my politicians in support of
you, but since I live in Western Australia the most I can do is offer you
this personal encouragement.
If Lawrence Lessig's translation of Microsoft's complaint is correct, they are
accusing you of "excess in freedom of speech and freedom of thought". You are
standing up to give an increasingly rare and valuable thing to the political
and commercial communities in Brasil, and I applaud your efforts.
Cheers; Leon
