INTERNET FREEDOM IS UNDER ASSAULT AS YOU READ THIS

The “Stopping Online Piracy Act (SOPA)…HR 3261…and its counterpart in the Senate, “PROTECT IP,” will LIMIT Internet freedom and commerce, and will give unprecedented power over the Internet to the government and law enforcement.

The legislation being debated will give Obama the power to

SHUT DOWN THE INTERNET…

At ANY TIME…

For ANY REASON…

Without Due Process!

The House’s Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Senate’s PROTECT IP Act would censor the Internet and create massive regulations for every website that utilizes user-generated content. That means sites like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and popular political blogs will all be under the watchful eye of the federal government. And if ONE PERSON posts ONE VIDEO or ONE IMAGE that has not been properly credited; THE ENTIRE SITE CAN BE SHUT DOWN, WITHOUT A COURT ORDER.

Supporters of this legislation have spent millions on lobbying efforts…now, it’s up to We, the People, to speak up.

Our Internet Freedom is UNDER ASSAULT. The bill is being marked up December 15th…help Conservative Action Alerts take this opportunity to stop SOPA immediately. As freedom-loving citizens, we MUST take action now. Flood Congress with your Faxes and tell them to oppose this legislation and protect free speech and free enterprise in America.

SOPA is being marked up on December 15th…our Internet Freedom is under assault. We must get our message to Congress IMMEDIATELY and tell them to OPPOSE SOPA! This has the potential for GREAT abuse by our government, and as freedom-loving citizens, we MUST take action now. Flood Congress with your Faxes and tell them to oppose this legislation and protect free speech and free enterprise in America.

Conservative Action Alerts has been warning you for months about the Obama administration’s attempts to take over the Internet. He is creating a police-state in which NOTHING is free from government control.

During Obama’s three years as President we have seen an unprecedented government expansion and invasive regulation of nearly every aspect of our lives: guns, land, commerce, healthcare, climate, banks, automobiles, energy and food.

Now, he’s coming after the Internet. Imagine yourself without access to your favorite sites – not being able to shop, share photos and information with your friends, or read political blogs to find out the truth-all because the government decided that one post was offensive or copyrighted. And everything was then shut down.

It sounds like it could not possibly happen here in the United States…but it IS HAPPENING, RIGHT NOW.

Flood Congress with your Faxes and tell them to oppose this legislation and protect free speech and free enterprise in America. PROTECT THE INTERNET…express your opposition to SOPA right now!

Obama’s Hollywood friends, namely, the Motion Picture Association of America, have pressured him to do this. They are upset-rightfully-over stolen music and movies online.

But, instead of going after the bad guys, they are going to regulate all of us good guys who are simply trying to use the internet legitimately!

We all know there is a problem with people stealing music and movies, and making money on it, and we need measures in place to protect intellectual property … but these bills go WAY TOO FAR in limiting our freedoms.

It’s like taking a missile to a knife fight-this is a reactionary, overreaching government initiative that has the potential for great abuse of our freedoms. If SOPA and Protect IP pass, it will be a SERIOUS threat to online innovation and to legitimate online communications tools.

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) says, “This is a cluster bomb where you should be going in with a laser, and the collateral damage to innovation and freedom is huge.”

SOPA is being marked up on December 15th…our Internet Freedom is under assault. We must get our message to Congress IMMEDIATELY and tell them to OPPOSE SOPA! This has the potential for GREAT abuse by our government, and as freedom-loving citizens, we MUST take action now. Flood Congress with your Faxes and tell them to oppose this legislation and protect free speech and free enterprise in America.

The Center for Democracy and Technology warned if SOPA is enacted, “The US government must be prepared for other governments to follow suit, in service to whatever social policies they believe are important-whether restricting hate speech, insults to public officials, or political dissent.”

THIS IS ONLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

Many groups will just move their hosting offshore so they can keep pirating and prevent their websites from being shut down. After all, criminals know how to get around the law. Pirating will NOT stop as a result of this legislation.

But, FREEDOM WILL.

Join Conservative Action Alerts in calling on Congress to OPPOSE SOPA. Don’t allow America to go the way of China and Iran. KEEP THE INTERNET FREE! Flood Congress with Faxes right now and tell them to STAND FOR FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA and oppose Hollywood’s intrusion on our liberties!

The Internet Commerce Association warns the bill “could be a death knell for all domains that provide a platform for user-generated content.”



Do you want the federal government to have the ability to restrict the websites you frequent, at any time, for any reason, without due process? And, do you want them to have the ability to COME AFTER YOU and YOUR WEBSITE based on an unsubstantiated allegation, without giving you your “day in court?”

Don’t let internet censorship come to the United States of America.

Please, send your faxes to Congress today and tell them to STAND FOR FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA and oppose Hollywood’s “STOP ONLINE PIRACY ACT!”

Sincerely,

Conservative Action Alerts

In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.
