STOP SOPA! Internet FREEDOM is at stake!

If you don't know what SOPA is, do some research and check it out. Basically, it is the most evil and controlling thing the government has came up with in the name of "copyright protection". It is just a backdoor way to control the internet!

This is such a serious thing that Wikipedia, Google, {elsewhere}, etc are all either completely offline or have black bars to show the censorship that will happen. This is a VERY serious issue, if you enjoy the internet as it is now!

Go here and email your congress critters!

    I don't know a lot about SOPA, but the little I know appears to me to be a front door way to control the internet, if not shut it down altogether.

    To me SOPA has always been Senior Officer Present Afloat, which is also the most evil and controlling thing the government has come up with.
    The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

    I'll be calling my reps but it will pass anyway. They don't care what we think anymore.

    these guys need to find a different way to control their copywrites and original content.
    I am sending the letter even though I doubt it will make a difference.

    another big government land grab. Its funny the liberals don't mind when they make us stop smoking or wear seat belts or change the rules on gay marriage or try to take our gun rights its all ok by them for uncle sam to tell us how to live our life. Suddenly however it's now a problem.

    I'll never understand they way a liberal mind works. I'm at least consistent I want the government out of my wallet and out of my life.

    This is what Lieberman said he wanted as he held up the shining example of communist China as justification.[:p][:p][:p]

    The internet is the last remaining source of unbiased news and unregulated free enterprise. Our government will not allow that to continue for much longer.

    Both liberals and conservatives want to control the populace. Conservatives think beer is ok but weed is the devil. Conservatives want to control what two consenting adults want to do in their private life. Both parties gave us the Patriot act. We need to get over the stupid liberal/conservative tags. they are much to broad and any one individual is just following the crowd if they agree with one or the other consistantly.

    Don't support SOPA but I find it ironic how websites that don't believe in your 2nd amendment rights(crai%lis% for instance) want your help in stopping it.
