#STOPSOPAIreland. How to Recall US Senators and Congressmen. Below is a list of the senators and congressmen who voted to sell us and our American rights down the river as if we had never been born with them. The right to recall federal officials is firmly established by the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as a power "not prohibited" by the Constitution and therefore "reserved to the states" and "to the people. " As proponents of limited government, the Constitution was to be viewed as a straitjacket on the government, outlining limited powers, not a straitjacket on the people, whose rights only ended where they began to infringe on the rights of others.
The Tenth Amendment states: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. " The Treasonous 383SENATE: YEAs ---86HOUSE: AYES 283 -- Do not let any state legislator tell you that you cannot recall senators or congressmen. The Supreme Court declared in 1897: A Longer View.

#SOPA - Fight back. OpBlackout - Stop SOPA - YOUTUBESTORM. Nintendo, Sony Stop Supporting SOPA After Anonymous Threats. Reports are coming in that Nintendo has quietly backed out of supporting SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act). Sony has also backed down, and it's allegedly because of further threats against the PSN from online hacking group, Anonymous. According to Geek, Nintendo is no longer supporting the SOPA act. Reasons for dropping out of the committee was not explained nor did the company have any fancy PR spiel to douse about on the issue. Over at GamingBolt they picked up on comments made by infamous hacking group Anonymous about how they'll attack Sony if they continue to support the SOPA act because they don't "forgive" or "forget".
The statement from Anonymous is as follows... Hello, SONY.We are Anonymous.It has come to the attention of the Anonymous activist community that you have chosen to stand by the Stop Online Piracy Act. Sounds like something written by 10 year olds and proofread by their parents. It will be interesting to see what happens from here. SOPA is for lazy companies and campaign donations — not piracy prevention. Personally, my political positioning is less about a single litmus test and more about the ideal that personal freedom is of utmost importance. It should only be trumped in the most serious of situations.
As a natural extension of this belief, it means that less government is always preferable to more government — especially when it comes to the internet. Recently proposed legislation like the Stop Online Piracy Act (as well as the Senate version, the Protect IP Act) would needlessly rip away many of our personal freedoms by transforming the internet into a bureaucratic cesspool. It would kill tech business innovation and strengthen powerful companies. So as an entrepreneur in the tech business world as well as a libertarian, there are many reasons to both personally and professionally stand against SOPA. Anyone see a problem here? SOPA has roots in the music & movie industries. No. History shows us that laws can’t keep up with the pace of technology.

29 Tech Companies Back SOPA. Update: The Business Software Alliance has ‘reconsidered’ its backing of SOPA in its current form and now says that it “needs work”. After writing a rather lengthy and somewhat firey post on the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) yesterday, I realized this morning that I didn’t know Microsoft’s position on the matter. As I edit our Microsoft channel, I immediately sent off a query to the company concerning the Act. To my surprise it took some time to hear back, and when I did get word the response was ‘no comment.’ Obviously intrigued, I dug into the issue. But Microsoft did support the pre-SOPA Protect IP Act, something that SOPA did draw on heavily for its roots. We can, however, show that it does. Yeah, how about that. The following list is every single member of the Business Software Alliance. To learn more about SOPA, and why you should be afraid of it, head here.
Boehner’s office cuts off C-SPAN cameras as GOP takes verbal beating. By Stephen C. WebsterWednesday, December 21, 2011 13:36 EDT A strange thing happened Wednesday morning on Capitol Hill. As Rep. Stenny Hoyer (D-MD) attempted to call for a vote to extend a payroll tax cut to middle class and working Americans, his Republican colleagues adjourned the House and walked out of the chamber.
And if that weren’t odd enough, it got even stranger: As Hoyer railed against them for failing to help working Americans, footage from C-SPAN went silent, then cut away. Moments later, C-SPAN took to the Internet to explain that it wasn’t their doing, but someone working for House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH). The incident occurred mere moments after the House went into session.
“As you walk off the floor, Mr. “We regret, Mr. And that’s when the audio cut out. Moments later, someone at C-SPAN took to Twitter and explained: “C-SPAN has no control over the U.S. This video is from C-SPAN, broadcast Dec. 21, 2011. (H/T: ThinkProgress) Stephen C. Stephen C.
Anti-SOPA activists find ways to keep the Internet free. SOPA Escape DNS FireFoX. Anti-piracy laws will smash internet, US constitution - legal eagles. High performance access to file storage Legal experts are warning that the proposed PROTECT IP and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) legislation, currently working their way through Congress, will damage the world's DNS system, cripple attempts to get better online security and violate free speech rights in the US constitution.
In an essay published in the Stanford Law Review professors Mark Lemley, David Levine and David Post warned that the overarching reach of the legislation would cause people to seek alternatives to the existing DNS system, manufacture massive technical problems in the implementation of DNSSEC and trample over rights of free expression by allowing the total suppression of published opinion based on allegations without proof, or even a hearing. The professors warn that the SOPA legislation is even worse in this regard. The team also echoes concerns from Sandia Labs and others that the laws would break the implementation of DNSSEC.

In response to a bill now before Congress, which opponents say would dramatically erode internet freedom, the free and fair use of copyrighted material and online privacy, hacker groups have begun to publicly threaten to launch attacks on US government workers and websites.
The US House Judiciary Committee debated for a second day on Friday the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a bill that would bestow the US Department of Justice and individual copyright holders with unprecedented powers to shut down websites and crack down on users for what they deem to be violations of copyrights.
The vote was postponed after day two of the debate after a wayward tweet derailed talks on Thursday. Rep. Steve King (R – Iowa) tweeted that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D – TX) was “boring.” The delay will give the bill’s detractors more time to organize its calls for the bill to be dropped.

WebsterFriday, December 16, 2011 14:16 EDT Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), the Republican behind a controversial piece of legislation that would shut down any website accused of copyright infringement, abruptly adjourned a marathon session of the House Judiciary Committee on Friday as it was considering marking up the bill. After roughly 14 hours of debate spanning two days, Smith accepted the proposal of Rep. The deal came after Chaffetz attempted to amend the bill to delay a provision that would strike websites from the Internet’s central domain naming system (DNS) — a proposal that critics have specifically targeted for fundamentally breaking the structure of the Internet. When Chaffetz offered to set his amendment aside if Smith would agree to hold hearings on how the rule would affect classified and civilian cyber-security, the chairman agreed. Although it’s not exactly a victory for opponents of SOPA, it does buy them a little extra time to lobby members of Congress.
