One of the many credits to our way of life here in the USA is for freedom of speech and press.  Two bills coming up for vote are threatening to end a certain amount of that freedom.  Please find more info below, and if you agree, sign the petition and write your state representatives to urge them to not vote for this.  
 
Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.
The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.
