Fight for the Future - Stop Internet Censorship

Just a quick but important post here...

"On Jan 24th, Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill - PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House - to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity."


Read about these bills at:

See this site for which web sites are striking and how to contact congress and for more information:


   Web Goes on Strike


I have sent emails to both my senators and my congressman.  Please consider sending a similar message to your congressman and senators.


Subject: 
Kill the bill - PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House

Message:   
I am writing to you as a voter in your district. I urge you to vote "no" on cloture for S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act, on Jan. 24th. The PROTECT IP Act is dangerous, ineffective, and short-sighted. It does not deserve floor consideration.  I urge my representative to vote "no" on SOPA, the corresponding House bill.

Over coming days you'll be hearing from the many businesses, advocacy organizations, and ordinary Americans who oppose this legislation because of the myriad ways in which it will stifle free speech and innovation.  We hope you'll take our concerns to heart and oppose this legislation by voting "no" on cloture.
