Here is the link you can go to in order to "sign" the petition against this act.

If you are a member of this site it is imperative that you take the time to do this. There is more at stake here than just a few sites. If this bill passes then the flood gates will open for lawsuits, the denial of free speech, or the governments ability to control intellectual property.

This Bill would allow essentially allow A Great Firewall of America and would be a shameful desecration of free speech and any sort of reasonable copyright law. The new Law would allow copyright holders to force websites which have any copyrighted material to be blocked by ISP companies around the country, without requiring that the websites be given time to take the offending material down. It would also put pressure on ISP companies to monitor their users like never before, a gross invasion of privacy. This bill is a direct assault on a free internet and a shameful attempt by copyright lobbyists to destroy net neutrality. Essentially it's a censorship law that would end the internet as we know it in America.
