- StumbleUpon, Why We’re Against SOPA and PIPA
You may have heard about two bills currently being debated in Congress: the misleadingly named “Stop Online Piracy Act” (or SOPA for short) and Protect IP Act (PIPA). We’re encouraged by the White House’s recent statement refusing to support parts of this legislation that inhibit innovation and take too broad strokes against website owners, but the legislation has not yet been reversed. To spread the word, we’re including this blog post in every Stumbler’s stream and encouraging Internet users like you to contact your Member of Congress and tell them to not support these acts.- StumbleUpon.0

I am writing to you as a voter in your district. I urge you to vote "no" on cloture for S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act, on Jan. 24th. The PROTECT IP Act is dangerous, ineffective, and short-sighted. It does not deserve floor consideration. I urge my representative to vote "no" on SOPA, the corresponding House bill. Over coming days you'll be hearing from the many businesses, advocacy organizations, and ordinary Americans who oppose this legislation because of the myriad ways in which it will stifle free speech and innovation. We hope you'll take our concerns to heart and oppose this legislation by voting "no" on cloture. via Strike Against SOPA & PIPA.
Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.
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. via End Piracy, Not Liberty.
