Friday afternoon I received an email after I signed a petition to stop censorship of the Internet. Things are getting serious at many points on the globe. Some near you some maybe not so near you. But one thing is for certain. If the Internet becomes censored than everyone is going to be effected.

“This week the Internet woke up. Check out the numbers and screenshots from American Censorship Day. Over 80,000 Tumblr users called ther representatives. SOPA was a trending tweet in the U.S. and between the Electronic Fronteir Foundation, Avaaz, and Demand Progress (groups that are just now working together!) we sent Congress over 1,000,000 emails. The scary part? We still might lose.”

“The bill is backed by an unholy alliance of Hollywood, its unions, drug companies, and the Chamber of Commerce. They are pouring money into it, and they’ve been working on this for years. Yesterday, big players like Tumblr, Mozilla, Reddit, BoingBoing and even 4chan came out strong on our side. Now it’s your turn. We’ve got to dig in and go viral.”

head on over to AmericanCensorship.org and sign a petition.
