Can't Stop The Signal: End SOPA/PIPA

[mizarchivist]

I've been vocal on other social media sites, but for posterity--
Here's some reference material for those not already in possession of useful short form-
About The Bills
Go Here to contact your representatives.

My experiences of the day- called VT's Leahy. There was a bit of a wait before anyone could even get to my call. I requested that the senator re-consider the bill as it stands, that it needs more consideration, said I was from Boston, end of call.

Sen. Kerry's office: I requested as I always do at the beginning of a conversation like this to register my opinion on an issue. The woman who answered cut me off and asked "Is this about Those Bills?" - SOPA/PIPA, I ask, why yes. I was told the Senator has been inundated by calls and is not intending to support the bill. Yaaay! Have a good day!

Sen. Brown's office: I requested the senator not support the bills, and was told by the staffer that as of last night, Mr. Brown was not planning to support the bill, that they too have gotten All The Calls today. Yay. 

I'd see about the California senators who may need more convincing from we non corporate entities.

Called both Kerry and Brown just now. Got a person at Kerry's office who asked what I was calling about and when I said "I'm calling to urge the Senator to vote 'No' on the Protect IP Act" said "I'll add you to the list."

With Brown's office I got an answering machine but left a message urging him to vote "No" on the bill.
