Internet censorship could become law in America sooner than you think. Congress will vote on a bill before the that would give a few corporations unprecedented power to blacklist websites. Congress could cast the deciding vote in coming weeks. If your member votes for the House Bill H.R. 3261 SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) & Senate Companion Bill S.968 (PROTECT IP), these censorship bills will take away the rights of Americans!
That’s why the Tea Party is standing strong with free speech proponents, small businesses, conservative and liberal advocates, video gamers, librarians, and hundreds of groups across the U.S. in a final push to kill SOPA & PROTECT IP. We’re asking millions of people to make sure the phones in Congress ring off the hook starting today. Lobbyists working for the powerful movie and recording industries are pushing Congress to vote for SOPA. Now he must hear the truth from ordinary Americans.

Please tell him that SOPA & PROTECT IP allows for the sort of heavy-handed tactics you’d expect to see in China. They have no place in the U.S. The bill gives government and corporations new powers to overhaul the Internet — and block access to any websites that the industry accuses of copyright infringement. This definition is so broad that we could see criminal penalties imposed against those who post a birthday party video where a copyrighted song is playing in the background.1
SOPA & PROTECT IP would not only let companies silence websites but would also require all search engines to “de-list” any site in question — making it disappear from the Web altogether. The consequences for free speech on the Internet are grave. We must keep Internet free!
