Day 90: Call Senator to Say "NO" To The PROTECT IP ACT

For my Good Human Act today I called my local Senator by going to this website http://americancensorship.org/modal/call-form-moz.html and emailed Congress to protest to Protect the IP Act. Today many websites are going dark today to protest SOPA & PIPA too:
Here is a link that has a video about it and a form to email Congress. http://fightforthefuture.org/pipa


The video below discusses the Senate version of the House's Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). In the Senate the bill is called the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA). SOPA has gotten more attention than PIPA because it was moving faster in the legislative process. But PIPA is just as dangerous, and now it is moving faster.
PIPA would give the government new powers to block Americans' access websites that corporations don't like. The bill lets corporations and the US government censor entire websites and cut sites off from advertising, payments and donations.
This legislation will stifle free speech and innovation, and even threaten popular web services like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook.
The bill is scheduled for a test vote in the Senate on Jan. 24th: We need to act now to let our lawmakers know just how terrible it is. Will you fill out the form above to ask your lawmakers to oppose the legislation and support a filibuster?
