Oppose SOPA and PIPA

January 18, 2012 By Tom Sadler

The legislation currently before Congress is the latest in an unfortunately long line of examples of Congress trying to fix something they don’t understand. It will lead to the inevitable result of producing a myriad of unintended consequences.

Don’t know what SOPA and PIPA do? Educate yourself. Take action. That is what the internet is here for. At least for now…
