SOPA and PIPA! A threat to us all!

For those who do not know what SOPA and PIPA is let me explain. The are two acts that are being considered in congress currently. These acts will censor and will cripple the internet. They say they are trying to protect people by REMOVING our privacy. Not only that, but there are taking away are freedom of speech too! Their will no longer be accessible foreign sites in America! These acts will also give them the right to block websites because THEY MIGHT THINK certain sites COULD have copyright infringement in them! They are trying to control the internet! My fellow students and followers, do you want this? Could you imagine a world with practically no Wikipedia and limitations on Facebook, a world were Youtube would be completely censored or practically unusable. You might as well say goodbye to our beloved Google and Firefox! These sites are opposing these acts will inevitably be destroyed if these acts are passed. I know there is not much we can do alone, but together we can help stop these lunatics from taking away the freedom that our founding father have given us. Tell everybody you know about what is happening, tell your friends, tell your parents, tell strangers for all I care! For the sake for our rights and the internet, help stop SOPA and PIPA!
