If you have not heard of SOPA, you need to check it out. Today is very important for you if you have, or want a voice. They are going to vote tomorrow on a bill to whether or not to censor the Net. First it was in the name of the Children, now it is in the name of Piracy. However, I am sure it is the momentum of free speech with the net.
Think how nice your gardens are and how you circumvented failure by coming to sites like this one....I am sure most of you are good people, who only wanted privacy in their own homes to investigate or learn about different things. I know there are some of you who are Hackers and have ways around this Censorship of the Net. Yet, there are plenty of contributors on this site who have contributed and probably would have not contributed to this site, if a censorship were in place; or a hack was necessary to come here.
This has nothing to do with party lines or beliefs it has to do with putting a muffler on an information highway. I urge you to send an email today or better yet call your rep and BLOW up the phone lines and let your voice be heard!
Want a window into the minds of our opponents? Former Senator Chris Dodd -- head of the Motion Picture Association of America -- says that China censors its Internet, so we can too:
"When the Chinese told Google that they had to block sites or they couldn't do [business] in their country, they managed to figure out how to block sites."
These are the voices our lawmakers listen to. If we're going to win, we need to drown them out before TOMORROW's committee vote on SOPA.
First, and most importantly, please make a call or send an email -- it'll really only take a couple of minutes.
Even if you've called already, call again. Today is that important. The House Judiciary Committee will likely pass the Stop Online Piracy Act tomorrow, and once the bill moves out of committee, the House can pass it at any time. We could be just days away from seeing internet censorship pass in the House.
Second, urge your friends and family to call Congress today.
Simply Google "Censor the internet" why you still can. Here is an address http://americancensorship.org
Stop sitting on your hands or wipe your paranoia away! It is only an email address.
Sianara!
