Leggo My Eggo (or Keeps Your Dirty Hands Off My Internet)
In case you hadn’t noticed, today is Wednesday, January 18, 2012, official blackout day. It’s a large group of internet companies protesting two bills currently in US Congress: the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate, and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House.
These bills would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.
Who’s behind this? Your favorite progressive ex-senator Chris Dodd, the same curmudgeon who brought us the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and a major player in obamacare. He was hired as CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America in March 2011 to fight piracy, which supposedly costs the film and music industries billions every year.
The Senate will begin voting on January 24. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.
