http://StopCensorship.org — Sign up to have your name read during Wyden’s filibuster!
The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) would
ruin so much of what’s best about the Internet: They will give the government
and corporations new powers to block Americans’ access to sites that
are accused of copyright infringement, force sites like YouTube to go to
new lengths to police users’ contributions, and put people in prison
for streaming certain content online.
There’s a good chance this legislation will pass — but Senator Ron
Wyden is a steadfast opponent, and he says he’ll try to block it by
filibustering if it comes up for a vote.
Sometimes filibusters last hours — or days — leaving Senators reading
out of the dictionary or cookbooks to pass the time. But we’ve got a
better idea:
Millions of Americans support Internet freedom. What better way to
demonstrate our strength than to ask Senator Wyden to read our names
into the record during his filibuster? He’s agreed to read as many names as possible, and to enter the rest into the Congressional Record.
