This blog is joining thousands of other sites across the Internet today in urging you to call your congressmen and senators. SOPA/PIPA as currently proposed would be a serious threat to your rights as an Internet user. It would allow the government to shut down any website without due process and with very little recourse.
Do the First and Fourth Amendments mean much to you? Freedom of speech, due process, unreasonable search and seizure; you know, little things like that?
SOPA/PIPA also has the potential to make YOU into a criminal by holding websites responsible for the content of sites to which they link. Do you have me in your blogroll? If I violate SOPA/PIPA, you could be going down with me.
Freedom of association – there’s another one of those pesky rights again.

I don’t often do politics here at NFMH, but I feel this one’s important. If you enjoy the Internet the way it is and think Washington should keep its hands off, call you congressmen and senators TODAY!
For more information, simply Google SOPA and/or PIPA.
