Stop Censorship Before It Starts

Tomorrow(December 15th) the U.S. House of Representitives is scheduled to vote on the Stop Online Piracy Act(SOPA).

At all costs, this bill must be stopped, because if it passes through the House, it could pass into legislation, and if it does, it could be the first step to this country turning into communist China or the Soviet Union or Castro's Cuba.

In short, it would limit free speech and if the bill passes legislation could be on the books which would make streaming copyrighted videos online a felony, and could also effectively shut down Deviant Art, Fan Fiction.net and Youtube, and seriously hamper the operations of Facebook and Twitter.

If you enjoy freedom and free speech, call your congressman or congresswoman to vote NO on the Stop Online Piracy Act, and then we as citizens can post and do everything we should be able to do online without the fear of being arrested or prosecuted.
