The following is from http://sopastrike.com
“On Jan 24th, Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill – PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House – to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity. We need internet companies to follow Reddit’s lead and stand up for the web, as we internet users are doing every day.”
Freeze Tagging is not a big website, but its subject matter is absolutely in favor of free speech and expression, even when it isn’t an agreeable message. It’s important to have the right to use the internet without fear of retribution and/or legal action.
If you haven’t already, please contact your represenatives and tell them to vote against this.
