13 Million flexed their right to free speech, and YAY, sopa and pipa have been struck down for now! loud and proud peeps! loud and proud!
On
January 18th, 13 million of us took the time to tell Congress to protect our free
speech rights on the internet. Hundreds of millions of people all
around the world saw what we did on Wednesday. Check out the numbers here.
The
largest online protest in history has fundamentally changed the game. We were
heard.
On January 20th, Congress shelved the bills indefinitely.
WOW! Our activism may have changed the way people fight for the public interest and basic rights forever.

Under the US Constitution we have the First Amendment Civil Right to Free Speech. Yet the Senate only "postponed" the calendar event of January 24th...
So it's not over yet folks. If these bills come back to the table we must be ready. If you're in the US, please sign the petitions and voice your opinion! Help prevent censorship! Otherwise, if either of these bills sneak through (and we all know they're sneaky like that), then my blog and so much more WILL go black, permanently.
censor me or my blog?...violate my civil rights?...here's my thoughts on that! (shitty pic but you get the point).
YAAAAAA! I love it when people count! It does work! I love the pic... its perfection!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but First off I must say you ARE one hot momma. I think you knocked my socks off. Flat Wooley must have been crazy to leave you.
ReplyDeleteNow, because of you, my name is on that list and after this post, it sure feels pretty good.
Glad that 13 Million are enough to stop this madness, I hope the movement keeps on growing!
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the rest of the world, thank you 13 million Americans, for doing what is right.
ReplyDeleteTogether... we can do it again!
ReplyDeleteja, ja that picture is too explícit, sure some censors are thinking dirty things ;-)
ReplyDeleteUn saludo.
thanks everyone! its still concerning that our govt would try to enact legislation to protect just one big industry over protecting the rights of the people they represent. and, it may be out of congress for now, but its only been postponed by the senate. scary thing is, the way our govt works, we know it will be back. :(
ReplyDeletei LOVE how people spoke up in such a huge way! i love it when it works too! together, we WILL do it again!... :)
ReplyDeleteand thanks everyone on the pic! :) wooley, you're too sweet! and im happy that you've taken a minute to add your name, thank you.
Dear Ms. m:
ReplyDeleteThere is always some special interest, some indignant third party, or some dope waiting to throw a wet blanket over the parade. Now just think what it would be like if 13 million Americans got on the internet to rid this country of the Patriot Act, which takes away more than one sacred American right.
Fondest regards,

First, I must say: “Fuck the Gov-ment"!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd don’t you dare censor that.
Have you ever read the ‘letters to the editor’ disclaimer in the Thunder Press?
Hey! What’s this ‘visible after approval shit’? You trying to CENSOR me?
ReplyDeletejack, i agree, just what our govt needed was more power (Patriot Act), NOT! i guess i'll expect a sneak & peek visit or a national security letter now. :(
ReplyDeletewillyD, lol hey now, that approval thingy just stops some asshole hackers and spammers. going to find recent thunder press now cause i dont see disclaimer online and i dont remember...
