SOPA/PIPA

My blog is a tiny thing, but I really, really believe in free speech, so I must post this anyway: oppose SOPA and PIPA in any way possible. If you live in the United States, you can contact your representatives. If you live abroad, or just want to know more, read about it or watch the video below. There are petitions to sign, as I'm sure you've seen on Google, and it's worth it. I believe in the power of words, and ideas, and open communication. I don't want that power given up to any government or corporation, because that's one way to hold them accountable.

So I know my four-year-old will be sad tomorrow that I didn't post a video with stormtroopers or daleks, but he'll live. This is important.

  1. Thanks for posting this Brenda! It's such an important cause. I'm sure, if passed, it will be challenged but it would be nice to stop the damage instead of having to do damage control!

  2. Damage control is no fun (I let my one-year-old rustle in the crackers a bit today--I should know!). Thanks, Johanna!
