Dear Lovelies,
It has come to my attention some alarming news regarding the SOPA/PIPA bills ( Protect IP Law). The government is working to make streaming a felony. This bill would allow the government to lock up Americans for streaming videos or music online, and is so overly broad that people who post videos of their friends singing karaoke could be prosecuted.
This is a part of an effort of a coalition of sites and groups all over the internet. And the chorus of opposition is growing every day -- the NYTimes, LATimes, and even Microsoft have come out against SOPA because of the momentum you helped create.
The Senate is going to try to pass their internet censorship bill between now and Christmas, and they could take it up as early as this week. Take action today, and if you have a website, blog, or Tumblr page, embed our call widget in your site!
Just think of the chain effect this will cause. Prosecution and shut down of our beloved web sites.
Here's a link: NY Times Article "Going After Pirates."
There are 3 things you can do to HELP:
Round 1: Fill out form to have Senator Wyden read your name during
his filibuster by visiting: http://stopcensorship.org
Round 2: Call your senators to voice your concern by visiting -
http://americancensorship.org takes 5 minutes.
Round 3: SPREAD THE WORD!!!
I have already followed the 3 steps mentioned above. Remember we make a DIFFERENCE!
Thank you so much for your support. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me.
