"The worst bill in Internet history is about to become law. Law is very real here in the United States and legal language is often different than stated intentions -- this law would give government and corporations the power to block sites like BoingBoing over infringing links on at least one webpage posted by their users. Believe the EFF, Public Knowledge, Google when they say this bill is about much more than copyright, it's about the Internet and free speech everywhere." (source: boingboing.net)

Check out this petition to The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate, which says:

"It's understandable that companies would want to protect their intellectual properties from illicit infringement. What is NOT understandable is the government's rush to add poorly written laws with scarily broad potential interpretations that will allow free speech on the Internet to be trampled into oblivion. Contact your Senators and Representatives NOW in order to retain freedom of speech, as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution. Don't permit them to pass this sneaky workaround that will take yet more power from the people and place it in the hands of corporations and the government!"
