I emailed Franken and Klobuchar against internet censorship bill [View all]

I used the form on this website:
http://www.wikipediablackout.com/

I edited the text of the letter to:
================================
Please oppose SOPA and Protect IP.

I am concerned about letting ISPs decide on their own to block websites for supposed copyright infringement. This violates Net Neutrality.

I am also concerned about making internet streaming a crime. This would hurt musicians who do cover songs. It would also hurt other people who post short videos which engage in Fair Use.
================================

If you write them, feel free to use some of my words.
