STOP – SOPA

Stop Online Piracy Act

The Congress of the United States voted that the Revolutionary War started in 1774 and ended in 1783. With that came our Freedom & Democracy and the precious gift of Free Speech which is guaranteed by the 1^st Amendment of our Constitution.  

 These three enable rights of Freedom, Democracy and Free Speech have made us the most powerful nation on earth and without them; we would have failed as a people and a nation.

 In fact so successful is our Democracy and way of life it has become a major part of our foreign policy to encourage other countries to choose freedom over Tierney.

 In 1983 with the help of Vice-President Al Gore the Internet was deployed and became known as the Worldwide Web open to everyone without restrictions and became an important tool for Freedom of Speech and Democracy. 

 By 1990 there were only approximately 315,000 people using the Internet and with the help of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs  there are now Billions with a capital B using the Internet on a daily bases in 2012.

 In fact without the use of the Internet; countries who have tasted Freedom for the first time in their history would still be living in Tierney (Libya and Egypt our two example of this).

 Now 238 years later Congress is getting ready to vote again, but unlike the first vote that started us on the road to Freedom of Speech they want to start policing the Internet by controlling what the Internet Providers can and cannot do with a bill sponsored by Lamar Smith (R-Texas) called SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) coming up for a vote around January 24^th, 2012.

 One needs to ask the question here: what’s a Republican Congressman who represents a Congressional District in Texas that covers mostly grazing land and horse manure doing sponsoring a bill that benefits Hollywood & Vine? C’mon Guys! Something stinks here and it ain’t the manure.   

 What the bill says is this: It would allow the U.S. Attorney General to seek a court order against off shore Web sites who may or may not be in violation of US laws to be served on the Internet Providers to shut them down within 5 days of said notice.

 This Web site; The Truth About Religion .Com stands behind Googles, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Mozilla, AOL, WordPress and all other Providers and Business who oppose this Internet Legislation that is nothing short of questionable intentions from a US  Texas Republican Congressman who should be promoting the agenda of Freedom, Democracy and not the agenda of stopping the Freedom of the Internet.
