I don’t usually do politics, because this space is about God’s word,

but this bill that’s being pushed through Congress – without any main stream media attention – could shut us all down in a heartbeat.

If you haven’t been following SOPA, the video above is a good intro.

Some of us were crossing out fingers that it would die or get buried while Congress was on holiday recess, but it didn’t. It will go to the Senate at the end of the month.

The fact that it’s being pushed so quietly just after the 2012 NDAA was signed is kind of terrifying.

The government is giving themselves a lot of power, and that’s not how this country is supposed to run. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but no political body or leader should have the power to shut down a website in a moment’s notice with no evidence of illegal activity. Neither should a government have the right or the power to detain anyone they deem is an “enemy” without due process. Both powers combined is a disaster waiting to happen, and something I never thought could happen in this country.

The end of the video directs you to this website:

Go.

Type in your name and zip code, and they’ll send a letter expressing your deep concern about SOPA to your representatives in Congress.
