The bills will be rewritten, pulled apart and passed through in smaller chunks, but unless the American people stay vigilant and actively work to see the corruption that feeds this excised from the US governement, it will, like a hydra, grow another head.tracyannehttp://lxer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-89002249273293627562012-01-21T17:13:40.961-06:002012-01-21T17:13:40.961-06:00The same Mr. Dodd, btw., went live on air (Fox) to...The same Mr. Dodd, btw., went live on air (Fox) to threaten the senators that now renounced the bill, they shouldn't expect any more campaign funding coming from Hollywood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-46287981254942713862012-01-20T15:35:14.837-06:002012-01-20T15:35:14.837-06:00This battle may have been a victory for us, but th...This battle may have been a victory for us, but the war isn't over. The organizations that want SOPA and PIPA to pass, dinosaurs though they may be, are well-funded and persistent enough that if we let our guard down even a little, they can break through and pass the bills. What we need is that every time the bills get close to passing, we need to see these sorts of blackouts and mass protests just to show people how infuriatingly closed the Internet will become if these bills become laws. Eventually, this will happen enough times that the organizations will finally recognize that they're going against the will of every citizen of this country except their own members.<br />We need to stay vigilant and keeping passing on the message to others to stay vigilant as well.<br />--<br />a Linux Mint user since 2009 May 1PVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204919785416600206noreply@blogger.com
