“Blacking Out the Internet” What does that mean? Well, you know those classified documents the government gives out where all the interesting stuff has been blacked out? Imagine if the Internet looked like that. Imagine if without due process anyone, make that governments and big business, could take down web sites if they didn’t like what was being said. Forget honest reviews of products. Forget being able to discuss politics. Religion? No way. How-to information that lets you do things yourself rather than paying big bucks to Big Corps? That can’t be allowed as it cuts into their profits!

If SOPA/PIPA and other stupid censorship laws are allowed to become the rules of the road then I won’t be able to tell you about XXXXXXXXXXXX and how to XXXXXXXXXXX or make your own XXXXXXXXXX while saving money by XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX and XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Oops! Looks like the censorship has already started!

Congress is foisting this on us under the guise of protecting intellectual property rights but what they are doing is a clear violation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Due process is being thrown out the door to feed the greed of the corporate giants who bribe our elected leaders.

Supporters of SOPA/PIPA are doling out some serious cash to bribe Congressional members. Our Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy received $1,321,560 from the proponents of these bills according to OpenCongress. I have corresponded with him about this and he is a strong supporter of SOPA/PIPA - no wonder! With a serious bribe like that maybe I would support these bills too! Hey! SOPA/PIPA people! You can send my million dollars to my PayPal address. Anyone else here want a million dollars? Check out the list of supporters who are passing out bribes as documented at OpenCongress.[1, 2] Also look at the list of people who got bribes. Did you get yours? Why not? If our Congressional representatives are getting millions of dollars in bribes shouldn’t the other 99% of us get our bribes too?!? Speak now while you still have the right to question.

If you value your rights to freedom of speech and the power of the Internet then fight back now!

Tell your Congressional Critters to block SOPA/PIPA Internet Censorship.
Write your:
Representatives
Senators

Also contact President Obama at the White House who has shown indications of possibly opposing these bills. Let him know you care and you want him to kill bill.

Dear Mr. President,

Tomorrow we will return to our regularly scheduled programming, provided the Internet still exists.

This is just a little warning of preparations to black out the Internet. This is just a test. Had it been a real shutdown of the Internet you would now be in the dark.

The point is to XXYXX a XXXYXXXX to the folks in XXXXXYXXXXX, XXXYX about their abuse of Constitutional Rights and censorship.

This is only a test. Do not panic. When it is time to panic I’ll tell you.

The blackout will occur on January 18th, 2012. This is not the end of the world. Tune in later for that.

Rather than repeating myself go visit here. Take action now or you might not have the right in the future to use the Internet to fight off the Big Baddies.
