This was an email I received after showing my support to prevent this bill from passing. I think Mattyb(charliebananas) might have posted about this bill a few months back if I remember correctly. Anyway just spreading the word you can decide for yourself if you want to show support. If you do support this the best thing you can do is spread the word!

Last week there was a small meeting at Mozilla to discuss SOPA, the Internet Censorship Bill.
It was eerie. The DC groups were practically screaming "this bill is the worst we've ever seen, and we can't stop it" -- while everyone else had barely heard of it. The consensus? We needed to wake people up.
Well, this week the Internet woke up. *You* woke the Internet up.
Check out the numbers and screenshots from American Censorship Day.
Over 80,000 Tumblr users called ther representatives. SOPA was a trending tweet in the U.S. and between the Electronic Fronteir Foundation, Avaaz, and Demand Progress (groups that are just now working together!) we sent Congress over 1,000,000 emails.
The scary part? We still might lose. Though growing fast, our coalition still isn't strong enough.
The bill is backed by an unholy alliance of Hollywood, its unions, drug companies, and the Chamber of Commerce. They are pouring money into it, and they've been working on this for years. Yesterday, big players like Tumblr, Mozilla, Reddit, BoingBoing and even 4chan came out strong on our side. Now it's your turn. We've got to dig in and go viral.
Can you tell 20 friends about the Internet Censorship Bill?
Or just forward this email.
And remember, the thing that made yesterday so powerful were the thousands of people who ran "Stop Censorship" messages on their sites.
Can you add a "Stop Censorship" message to your blog, Tumblr, Facebook, or YouTube pages? Click here for the code.
If you ran "Stop Censorship" or the "Contact Congress" splash on your page, we humbly ask you to keep running it until this bill is dead, and to find more people who can. We understand if you can't, but the bill is just as bad as it was yesterday -- so we've got to ask.
Click here to get the code to add to your page. It's easy.
This week was amazing -- thanks for everything you've done. There will be more, we promise.
