CISPA passed at 248 to 168. Well at least we’ve still got the senate and Obama. Hopefully one of them will stop it. I don’t have the proper words to express my frustrations. This picture will have to do for now.

I don’t understand why CISPA is happening…Did they think “Oh. People were pissed off that PIPA/SOPA was not giving the government enough power. Oh ok lets fix that and make a bill that gives MORE power to the government and throw in giving more power to corporations too. Just for good measure.” Someone else must have chimed in and added “Well they probably wants something that breaks the constitution even more. Can we do that? I think we can. Lets get on that ASAP.”

I hate congress even more than usual right now. And that takes a lot.

So here are two anti-CISPA form letter/information things https://action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=8444 and http://act2.freepress.net/sign/cispa/?source=facebookconfirm1

Sometimes I feel like people in Congress sit around together and try and figure out how to make the world a worse place.

EDIT: Here’s the ACLU’s take (and some resources) http://www.aclu.org/cybersecurity-0

To my followers: EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU NEEDS TO READ THIS ARTICLE. Then you should call/email/send carrier pigeon to your congress person. This is serious stuff. If this passes the Internet would become significantly worse.

p.s. I would expect Tumblr to die near instantaneously if it passed. So if for no other reason than your love/use of Tumblr contact your congress persons ASAP.

p.p.s. Spread the word.
