Title: This probably belongs in DISCUSS, but please hear me out!
Post by: Patrick on 27 Apr 2012, 02:55

If you are an American citizen, I personally urge you to make whatever attempts you can to contact your Senators and ask them to vote NO on CISPA. It is absolutely urgent that you do this so that we can ALL enjoy the same freedom we now take for granted.

There is also an ACLU petition (http://www.aclu.org/Stop-CISPA) to stop CISPA that can help the cause as well.

Patrick, my letter's been sent, and thank you for bringing this up.  I'd heard ofthe bill, but not the ramifications. 

And I've been out of "Discuss!" for a while (it wasn't healthy for me), so putting it here is appreciated.  Well, at least by me...

Mine is sent  :-)


And I try to avoid "Discuss!" as well....I'm either too optimistic or not knowledgeable enough about the topics in there. So I definitely appreciate it here too.

A very concise infographic I came across, if anyone wants to send it to people who are yet unaware of CISPA.
