STOP THE GREAT FIREWALL OF AMERICA
Did you know that a Bill is being debated in Congress which will change how we use the Internet in the U.S. FOREVER!!
~I am a photographer and I don't want my photos to be "stolen" just like anyone else. However, by shutting down our First Amendment Rights on the Internet is WRONG!!! This will affect how you put videos on YouTube of your family, your content on Twitter, and even your posts on Facebook. This BILL will change the way the Internet is used, similar to China's.

Alarm at the infringement of creative works through the Internet is justifiable but PLEASE CONTACT your CONGRESSMAN & SENATORS to SAY NO the PROTECT IP ACT.
