Again, thanks to all at RS for being on top of this issue. May this abomination stay dead and buried for all time.

Now that the National Space-Based Positioning Navigation and Timing Committee has knifed LightSquared here’s to them twisting it as hard as they can.

Calls, emails, primary threats . . . this crap sandwich needed deep-sixing.

There shouldn’t be a “Hollywood’s favorite Republican”.

This bill was a perfect example of what Congress
should NOT be doing. Giving the “Justice” Dept
more control of anything would be malpractice.
Obama and his bots have clearly shown their
desire to silence any with opposing views and
can never be trusted with an avenue to censorship.
They are already brainwashing kids with revisionist
history and praise of marxist “principles”. Listening
to 8 year olds sing about “income inequality”,
Che Guevara and solar panels is truly chilling.
Newsflash to Congress: there is NO way to stop
piracy in foreign countries any more than there is
a way to stop spam. I’d be happy if the government could stop China from stealing US
technology. However, just to do business there,
they are giving it away. Check out GE’s Chinese
deals to be totally disgusted. SOPA is an open
road to censorship and malevolence. Always be
mindful of the dangers of unelected bureaucrats
controlling life with no accountability.

Thanks RS and Neil for this update. It’s obvious that the only way to get the House and it’s more mushy members to fall in line, is with the threat of a primary challenge. I would worry however, that once the elections are over, they will feel free to vote for a version of SOPA, safe in the knowledge that they have 2 more years.
We must remain vigilant.

expect from the sponsers of the bill when we call.them? My rep just said that iwas in committe markup, but gave had no dates for when a vote would be taken.

Sweet

Make no mistake…..your work on this column helped kill it. Great work.

Smith, and anyone legsilator supporting this garbage, still need to get primaried yesterday.

I read the Hill site. – SOPA is not dead, it’s been “shelved” and won’t return “until a consensus is reached.”

Protect IP (PIPA), the Senate version of the House bill, is still very much alive, and has not even been shelved, much less killed. It is equally as bad of an idea as SOPA, even if most protests are being directed at SOPA recently.

As far as I can tell from searching, Wikipedia, Mozilla, WordPress and Reddit are joining the protest starting tomorrow. They are just some of the bigger sites and there are many others.

I thot it was interesting that Cantor is speaking for the House, instead of Boehner.

This site has good info and a link to updated sites/networks that are also joining the protest.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I wouldn’t of known about SOPA if it wasn’t for leftest protesting .But I will thank the right for telling their reps that if they vote for this , they will get primaried .

This might be one of the rare issues on which right and leftest people agree .
