"I am writing to you as a voter in your district. I urge you to vote "no" on cloture for S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act, on Jan. 24th. The PROTECT IP Act is dangerous, ineffective, and short-sighted. It does not deserve floor consideration.  I urge my representative to vote "no" on SOPA, the corresponding House bill.

Over coming days you'll be hearing from the many businesses, advocacy organizations, and ordinary Americans who oppose this legislation because of the myriad ways in which it will stifle free speech and innovation.  We hope you'll take our concerns to heart and oppose this legislation by voting "no" on cloture."

Freedom

ree·dom/ˈfrēdəm/

Noun:

1.The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

2. Absence of subjection to foreign domination or despotic government.

Freedom stands for something greater than just the right to act however I choose—it also stands for securing to everyone an equal opportunity for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

-Mike Trender

Are we really going to throw away our rights?

Are we really going to spend our days looking at a black Censored bar?
