What we must do ...

People and companies before banded together, did some extraordinary things such as darkening their websites, to defeat SOPA (and by extension, PIPA).  At the time, while we were celebrating this victory, I had a gnawing feeling, as did many of my friends, that the evil forces spawning this other draconian monster of a law, would come back with different initials, but essentially the same evil attempt to take our freedom away.

Well, we were right and now we must fight CISPA. What we MUST do is to reach beyond just fighting this legislation and send each and every legislator, those who support it and those who don't, that we are the majority, we vote, we buy cars, shaving cream, shoes, widgets, etc. This is to say we have TREMENDOUS power to help our friends, and even more power to oppose our enemies.

Make no mistake, banding together with others, you have enormous power.

     If any of these people represent you, you need to call, write, email, fax, in short, contact them and let them know that for us, these efforts to abuse those of us using the internet, to try to paint us as criminals, to interfere with our use of the Net, to censor us, to keep secret lists, will NOT be tolerated. We will not only work hard to see that everyone voting for it loses their office, but we will also work hard to make it public information about all companies and people who are our enemies by supporting this attack on the public posing as a bill.
     
     CONGRESS.org is a good place to find who your representatives / senators are and to contact them.
