#SOPA #PIPA Blackout

Hey! You! Have you heard of SOPA or PIPA? And no, I don’t mean Her Hotness, The Sister of the Princess of Whales. I’m talking about two bills in the U.S. Congress that are poised to take away much of the freedom we currently enjoy on the world wide web. You know how sometimes I’ll link to a silly video on this site? Well, if I did that in a post-SOPA/PIPA world, the government could then prosecute me for that link. And we all know that while I do love the color orange, I’d never make it in federal prison. I bruise like a peach.

Go here to see how your congressperson is voting in regards to these overreaching bills and then contact them. For the first time since the last election, one of my senators is actually supportive of my position (I’m a liberal in Kansas, the state that is required to teach Christianity as science in public schools…wheeeee!). Mr. Jerry Moran (R-KS) is opposing PIPA, but my other congresspeople (who are we kidding, congressmen, we are in Kansas you know) are either supporting these insane bills or have not yet made their position public. I encourage everyone to contact their representatives and make your position known. Let’s keep the internet free for everyone, even this guy.
