What you should do now to Stop SOPA and PIPA

Logging onto WarriorForum today I was greeted by a bone-chilling message about SOPA and PIPA and how it will drastically change the way we use the internet, and probably take away the very tools that we now use to make a living. You can read a summary of it at http://zaplink.us/stopsopa .

At 4:30 this morning, I wrote these letters to my Senators and Representative.  I urge you to DO THESE 3 THINGS TODAY.
(Feel Free to use my exact letter if you like):

  1. Find the names and addresses of your Senators and Representatives here: http://www.contactingthecongress.org
  2. Mail them a “Stop SOPA / PIPA” letter just like this (notice differences for Sen. and Rep)
  3. Urge others to take action. Write a post or tweet a link to this one. Mail to your list. Post on Facebook. Make a YouTube Video. Whatever it takes.

I know it may seem like our individual actions have little effect on the outcome, but nothing can be further from the truth. If you value the way you use the internet today, there is nothing more important that you can do right now.

Help me in spreading the word.

    Sent a message to Global TV in Canada and tweeted. Here is a video anyone can cut up anyway they want and repost everywhere to make it go viral : http://www.youtube.com/v/euHzXiAkYwY

    Thanks, Marjory. This is powerful stuff

    George, I believe this was put up intentionally by WarriorForum as their “Black Out” for the day. I see the same thing from the US. I’m sure it will be removed later. Many sites are protesting SOPA and PIPA in their own ways, and this is what I believe WF is doing today. I would imagine it will be taken down later today or tomorrow.

    Hey Steve-

    I’m just down the road some 100 miles south of you in San Antonio. Just did my part and used the sample letter you provided (with some of my own words added) and just faxed it to my 2 Senators and 2 Congressmen in my District. I am relatively new to the Internet Marketing world, but it’s something I am looking forward to venture out into. Many thanks for letting me know of this development.

    Regards,

    Lou

    Dear Steve,

    I just got the feedbadk form my USA friend.
    According to him the WSO might be closed for the next 48 hours.
    This is because the WSO is against the SOPA act that the US Congress had proposed.

    In view of the turn of event, I would request you to ignore my earlier posting.

    As such, today is a Black DAY for Warrior Forum.
    We hope the USA IM Marketing Individual and entrepreneurs will join hand and put to an end to the Protection IP Act (PIPA) because it is going to affect most of the USA Internet Users and Entrepreneurs. It is sad to note how the existing administrator handling the issues as a whole. The proximate cause for this saga is because of the Red Flagged Nation which is causing the unnecessary stress to the global security and economy.

    It is timely for the Government and the people of US to take the action against China Great Panda Wall by stopping their search engine creeping into the US internet broadband and US cyber space. As such, US Congress should therefore take the necessary action to protect their rights from the invading China Red IM Hacking Army. Therefore the US Congress should filter-off those unfriendly countries by imposing a 100% band to those foreign search engines and hackers. Let us all hope the US Government would find a quick protective solution for their national security by balancing the commercial aspect.

    In the meantime, please share this with your friends and clients in order they are aware of the current status quo in USA.

    Kind Regards
    George

    Steve:

    Looks like we made a difference. Saw where the House and Senate shelved the vote for now.

    Thanks for your help and being tuned in. I knew I bought your WSO for a reason, lol.
