Ron Paul on SOPA and NDAA

Urgent Stop SOPA

SOPA is Unconstitutional and Would Criminalize the Internet

 

Sign the Petition and Help Stop SOPA

Sign the Petition!

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

VETO the SOPA bill and any other future bills that threaten to diminish the free flow of information

“the more freely information flows; the stronger that society becomes” President Obama

By allowing free conversation it is so easy to drop a link

It would be ridiculous for an ISP to block the entire whitehouse.gov domain on court order because a single user posted a link. It is difficult for any web administrator to know which links to copyrighted material are done with permission. This will kill the free flow of information and conversation on the internet.

SOPA is too blunt. Please veto.
