The Anonymous collective has joined forces again with the Occupy anti-capitalist movement in the US to put pressure on politicians who support internet censorship.

The Occupy the Vote campaign under the hashtag #ourpolls aims at holding politicians accountable ahead of the 2012 election season. The announcement was issued by YourAnonNews on Twitter: "#Anonymous partners with Occupy in #OURPOLLS to hold politicians accountable in 2012 elections".

The collective expressed concerns over anti-piracy, national defence and copyright bills such as the National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA), the Stop Online Piracy Act (Sopa) and the Protect IP Act (Pipa).

"We are calling on voters, activists and keyboard warriors under all banners to unite as a single force to unseat the elected representatives who threaten our essential freedoms and who were so quick to minimise our individual constitutional rights for a quick corporate profit," reads the statement.

The hacktivists list the US senators and congressmen who supported the bills and are running for re-election in 2012.
