There are two bills in congress right now that must be stopped. PIPA (Protect IP Act) in the Senate, and SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) in the house.

These bills can (and knowing Obama/Congress, will) censor the Internet, something explicitly they are not supposed to do by the Constitution.

While the supporters of the bills say “that will never happen,” all we have to do is look at the history of our government and see that when they give themselves power over something, they take it and use that power.

Contact your congressman/senator and tell them you are opposed to these bills. Here are the websites for the House and Senate. Follow the links to your representative’s webpage. Call, email, fax or all three.

The object of a citizen is to keep his mouth open. I highly suggest you do that in this case. The consequences of not doing so are dire indeed.
