I just wanted to take a couple of minutes this morning to draw your attention to two bills that are currently coming before congress: the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House.

These bills would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA. The fallout of passing these bills would likely effect this website and others that you’ve come to rely on for information: Google, Wikipedia, Vimeo, YouTube, Facebook, etc. That’s why I’m joining these and many other websites today who are trying to get the word out about how devastating this legislation could be for the internet as we know it.

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.

For more information, please watch this short video on what PIPA and SOPA will do:
