SOPA is about limiting what you can see and learn on the internet

Your access to medical marijuana information could be BLOCKED by SOPAYour access to medical marijuana information could be BLOCKED. Imagine having all of the informatoin that you can get regarding medical marijuana, marijuana being controlled by the DEA’s view and not the medical community’s view. The SOPA and PIPA laws are game changers in our right as US citizens to share information and collaborate on the issues. If you believe in freedom than you MUST oppose these laws!  Learn more about how many ways they will impact every US citizen and get active!

I imagine we will all feel very naked when we realize we have given up all the freedom that this country was founded on.

Millions of Americans oppose SOPA and PIPA because these bills would censor the Internet and slow economic growth in the U.S.

Two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.

Under the current wording of the measures, the Attorney General would have the power to order ISPs to block access to foreign-based sites suspected of trafficking in pirated and counterfeit goods; order search engines to delist the sites from their indexes; ban advertising on suspected sites; and block payment services from processing transactions for accused sites. If the same standards were applied to U.S.-based sites, Hemp.com, Wikipedia, Tumblr, WordPress, Blogger, Google and Wired could all find themselves blocked.

The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. Please let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.
