SOPA Indefinitely Postponed, Not Dead

With more and more people, organizations, and companies stepping up to protest SOPA and PIPA, the bills that would turn the United States into an internet censorship regime operated by the major media corporations, the Obama administration has finally come forward opposing the bill that so many corrupt Senators and Representatives have backed.

The sad thing about these bills is that until such massive opposition was voiced, they were well on their way to being passed without note. Free speech would have been permanently destroyed in the USA, and these corporations would be dictating to us what we can and can’t read or view on the internet.

Here are just a few of the good companies that stepped up to voice their opposition and back we the people in our opposition to these horrible bills.

Now, the fight is not over yet. We still need to get these bills permanently shut down, not “postponed,” or “reconsidered,” or “re-worded,” or any other such nonsense.

So, on January 18th, many of the internet’s major websites will be going “dark” in protest to SOPA. So far, Craigslist, Wikipedia, Reddit, and many more have all thrown their hats in the ring and said that they will be blacking out their sites on the 18th to show congress and the Obama administration that we are serious about stopping these bills, and that their talk and half-measures will not suffice.

It’s vital that we do not give up, and that we do not forget who backed this bill.

To see who backed this bill, and how much they were bought off for, go to defendtheinter.net and scroll down. You’ll see the exact dollar amounts that your elected officials took accepted as “incentives” to throw in their vote for these awful bills. It’s pretty disturbing.
