Do you enjoy Blogging? Facebook? Youtube? Google? anything on the Internet? On Jan 24th our government is going to attempt to pass the SOPA and PIPA Bill unless we act now. If passed these sites could be taken down with no legislation to appeal. Neither SOPA nor PIPA bare any burden of proof for violations of IP infringement, which means anyone anywhere can write the Attorney General making a claim of IP infringement and that site will be blocked on US ISP, with little to no hope of ever returning. The government already tries to control our lives as it is. Don't let them take control of our Internet as well. Please I beg you write your Sen and House Reps and tell them to vote "no" on both SOPA (H.R.3261) and PIPA (S. 968) today.

Which by the way if SOPA and PIPA are passed won't be able to be accessed cause the government would have blocked it. If you think SOPA and PIPA are going to stay within the confines of only protecting it's intended design (Entertainment IP) you will be sadly mistaken. The government "will" abuse this ruling to their own gain, the less we are informed the more power they have.
