21. What we need to be doing

Tue Jan 17, 2012, 03:41 PM

Jan 2012

is make a list of everyone in congress that is supporting both SOPA and PIPA and getting them fired in the next election. Make support for the two bills absolute poison for any candidate. When someone asks about support for the bill, anyone that doesn't answer "I'll vote for the bill as right after I cut off my own arm." or similar, that person has no business being in office. Unless people are willing to get rid of their congressperson, we will never be able to have any kind of progress. Obama can only do so much. I mean... he COULD veto these horrible bills and force congress to either give up or override the vetos. But he probably never will. Guy needs a spine.
