Contact Congress before Jan. 24


Presently there are two bills before Congress; one is often referred to as PIPA (Protect IP Act) and the other SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act).  These bills would potentially censor the web and impose even more regulation on American business.

Numerous websites were “blacked out” yesterday to demonstrate their opposition to PIPA and SOPA, including Barbara's Beat.  Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) withdrew his support citing that "Congress should listen and avoid rushing through a bill that could have many unintended consequences". 

You can get more information on SOPA and PIPA here.

Based upon available information, the Senate will start voting on Tuesday, Jan. 24.  You can urge your Senators to vote “No” by using this link to easily contact them. Every voice must be heard. If they regulate the Net, what's next?
