Mind if you post the link to that petition so that I can make an announcement here?

Here is one such petition from Fight for the Future. I believe there is another one by the EFF as well.
However...
I certainly hope I don't sound like a total idiot, but even if CISPA does pass, I'm not entirely sure if it would affect me personally, for the most part. I'm not sure that the government would actually force Facebook or YouTube to constantly spy on my activities. Government agencies can only request the data, and the companies can choose not to comply.
The kicker? If CISPA passes, the president will veto it like he says. Only way around that is if both sides have enough votes to override his veto, and I doubt that will happen on both sides.
One thing is for sure though.... if the companies do agree to hand over sensitive information to the government for a supposed threat, it would trump the 4th amendment. No warrant necessary. That is a little disconcerting. So far, my only gray area online is my YouTube Poop videos, which are protected under fair use clause, hence my lack of concern outside of my 4th amendment rights.
I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.

trumping the fourth amendment... Just like how the idiot information minister upped internet censorship trumps the Bill of Guarantees that states that the internet shall never be censored...

i don't understand... Why do you need to add sugar to turnips? I eat them raw and they're already sweet as is.
I forgot:

Was it just me or do we need to move to another domain provider? I'm getting DNS errors on occasion. Same case with Googlebot trying to index this site.
