Or better yet, call your "representatives" in CONgress and voice your displeasure.

Glad this was posted, was going to do the same thing. I already petitioned against this. This is just as evil as another thing going around, such as the FDA's plan to outlaw supplements produced after 1994.

How to take action: http://www.capwiz.com/lef/issues/alert/?alertid=51641606&type=CO

In a surprise move today, Representative Eric Cantor(R-VA) announced that he will stop all action on SOPA, effectively killing the bill. This move was most likely due to several things. One of those things is that SOPA and PIPA met huge online protest against the bills. Another reason would be that the White House threatened to veto the bill if it had passed. However, it isn't quite time yet to celebrate, as PIPA(the Senate's version of SOPA) is still up for consideration.

He's dead right. The problem is Americans for the most part would rather let their shepherds take care of everything for them so they have more time to use facebook and watch nba.

As he said, all the reps who introduced the legislation need to lose their jobs. They don't know IP addresses from their assholes.

Yesterday's internet blackout may have had some success changing minds and winning hearts in the nation's capital. In the last 24 hours, a total of 18 U.S. senators have publicly withdrawn support of the controversial Protect IP Act, better known as PIPA.

Though on the internet the issue has largely been bi-partisan, the recent withdrawl of support has largely come from Republicans. Many of the defections have been high-profile, including former PIPA co-sponsors Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Sen. John Boozman (R-AR),Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), and Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD).

According to an informal head count at opencongress.org, 33 senators currently stand in support of the bill, while 36 remain opposed. A total of 51 votes are needed to defeat this bill for sure; though the bill could be killed with as few as 40 votes if Senate Republicans decide to mount a filibuster. The PIPA legislation is still slated for a vote on January 24.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor announced Monday that PIPA's sister bill, SOPA, would not be coming to a vote in the House after the White House announced its opposition.
