Did anyone else get this petition in there e-mail. It
for to stop the internet blacklist. They said they need
300,000 people they already have 250,000 and need it
before the end of this week. Well this is what they sent
me.
We just found out that they're bringing back the Internet
blacklist bill for a vote on Thursday -- less than a week
from now! We've spent the week meeting people in DC and I
can tell you our petition is definitely making a difference.
This bill was supposed to pass without objection, but now
even Politico is calling it "hotly debated" -- all thanks
to you. The first vote will be by the Senate Judiciary
Committee. Do you have any friends in California, Vermont,
Wisconsin, New York, Minnesota, or Illinois who haven't
signed the petition yet? Their senators will be the key
votes in deciding whether this bill passes. Can you forward
them this email and ask them to sign on at:
http://act.demandprogress.org/go/11?aki ... ZLJON3&t=2
Remember, this bill--in blatant violation of the
Constitution--would let the Attorney General create a
blacklist of websites that every American ISP would be
required to block. Wikileaks, YouTube, and others are
all at risk. Human rights advocates, constitutional law
experts, and the people who invented the Internet have
all spoken out against this bill -- but some of the most
powerful industries in the country are demanding that
Congress rush it through. The music industry is even
having all of their employees call Congress to pose
as citizens in support of the bill.
We need to fight back -- can you ask any friends you know
to sign on at:
http://act.demandprogress.org/go/11?aki ... ZLJON3&t=4
Keep on fighting,
-- Aaron Swartz, David Segal, and the Demand Progress team
P.S. So far over 250,000 people have signed. Can you help
us hit 300,000 before the vote next week?
