Urge Congress To Reject The PROTECT IP Act

UPDATE:  We're anticipating that a version of PROTECT IP will be introduced in the House of Representatives in coming weeks, so we've pulled together this video to remind the world about what makes it so awful.  Please check it out and pass it on:

 

 

We need to rally more opposition to this bill -- please use the form at right to email your lawmakers, and use these links to share the video with your friends:

ORIGINAL: We're forcing them to take our concerns seriously: Demand Progress members have sent more than 50,000 emails to Senators to urge them to oppose the Internet Blacklist Bill (the PROTECT IP Act).  Now we're hearing back from them, and one thing is clear: Our emails are compelling Senators to start thinking hard about Internet freedom.  Will you urge your lawmakers to oppose the Internet Blacklist Bill?  Just fill out the form at right.

PROTECT IP would give the government the power to force Internet service providers, search engines, and other "information location tools" to block users' access to sites that have been accused of copyright infringement -- the initiation of a China-style censorship regime here in the United States.

Senators are writing back to let us know that our emails are making them think twice before rubber-stamping PROTECT IP.  For instance, Oregon's Jeff Merkley is telling Demand Progress members:

I have heard from many Oregonians on both sides of this issue – those who support providing U.S. agencies with greater authority to shut down websites, and those who are worried that the legislation could result in Internet censorship. Thanks to your letter and the letters of fellow Oregonians, I have asked my staff to take a closer look into this legislation.

Will you email Congress to urge them to oppose the PROTECT IP Act?  Just add your info at right to automatically send this note to them, under your name and from your address.  (You can edit the letter if you'd like to.)

Just sign on at right and we'll send an email to your lawmakers.

This bill has powerful sponsors and is moving fast -- will you urge your friends to sign on too?
