Ask Wikipedia for a blackout to protest SOPA and Protect IP

http://www.wikipediablackout.com/


If you click the button on that webpage, a letter will be sent to your Senators and Rep.

You can edit the text.

This is what I put:

==========================
Please oppose SOPA and Protect IP.

I am concerned about letting ISPs decide on their own to block websites for supposed copyright infringement. This violates Net Neutrality.

I am also concerned about making internet streaming a crime. This would hurt musicians who do cover songs. It would also hurt other people who post short videos which engage in Fair Use.
==========================
