So what's the deal with this SOPA thing so many are talking about, you may ask? Watch this video (below) & read up on what that is and what it means to you. The video above discusses the Senate version of the House's Stop
Online Piracy Act (SOPA). In the Senate, the bill is called the PROTECT
IP Act (PIPA). SOPA has gotten more attention than PIPA because it was
moving faster in the legislative process, but PIPA is just as dangerous,
and now it is moving faster.
PIPA would give the government new powers to block the U.S. public's access to websites that corporations don't like. The bill lets corporations and the U.S. government censor entire websites and cut sites off from advertising, payments and donations. This legislation will stifle free speech and innovation, and even threaten popular web services like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook. The bill is scheduled for a test vote in the Senate on Jan. 24th and action is needed now to let our lawmakers know just how terrible it is. Will you fill out this form to ask your lawmakers to oppose the legislation and support a filibuster? Jan. 17, 2012
