Contact congress today and tell them to stop the SOPA and PIPA bills from passing! Blackout in progress.
My quick letter to my senator, Patty Murry: Patty Murry, Your twin sister was my 8th grade teacher. One time you came in and played a trick on us and we didn't notice you where pretending to be the teacher. I have always looked up to you as a senator and a strong human being. Now I'm 21 not 13 years old anymore. More aware of whats going on around me. America is a wonderful country but with this upcoming election and as a gay male I am worried about Americas direction and my future as one of its citizens. Today I bring your attention to something specific; I am asking for your common sense today to please appose the SOPA and PIPA bills. They go against everything this country stands for. Freedom & Diversity! As a young adult in America I expect freedom of information and knowledge to be available to understand this world clearly, because as you know; the general population is flooded with political influenced media that is already censored. Leaving me with the internet to explore my own truths. Information and knowledge should not being controlled and censored to some unethical "standards" Whose right is it to set those standards? The internet was made 100% by the people for the purpose of serving the people. The government has no right to interfere with what we have all worked to hard to create. A world of information and truth and wittiness.. :) Let the internet serve its purpose and stop congress from ruining all of its wonder and diversity. You cant censor the people. Its wrong. Thank you so much for your time. Sincerely "One of your voters" -Ian Shannon |

"Congress is about to pass internet censorship, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill - PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House - to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity. The Senate is scheduled to vote on the internet censorship bill on Tuesday, January 24th, and unless we can find 41 senators to block the vote, it is going to pass. Will you meet with your senators during the January recess and ask them to vote it down?" If you go to the link at the top (americancensorship.org) you can send a pre wrote letter to congress pleading them to stop this bill from passing Do your part! This will effect the entire world. The internet is controlled by the United States. http://youtu.be/1w6GtwOvnWM |
