Dear Fellow Conservative-- On Wednesday, RedState joined sites around the Internet, including Wikipedia and Google, in a global protest against the deceptively named Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT IP Act (PIPA). It was an historic occasion for Americans to stand up to out-of-touch Washington politicians. Today, we learned that our movement has won. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has postponed a vote on PIPA in the Senate, effectively killing this legislation in its current form. It was pressure from conservatives like you that made the difference. In the hours, conservative leaders like Jim DeMint, Marco Rubio, and Mike Lee rallied to the opposition. Former co-sponsors of the legislation like Orrin Hatch and Chuck Grassley withdrew their support and listened to the concerns of opponents. And Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell put pressure on Harry Reid by announcing his opposition to the rushed, secretive process by which these bills were moved forward.
This is on top of all the conservative voices and organizations who stood up for the Internet and for free speech online -- including the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action for America, the Cato Institute, FreedomWorks, the Tea Party Patriots, and many more. The Internet thanks you today. Click here to send your message of thanks to conservative Senators who helped kill PIPA. Even with today's victory, we need to stay vigilant that these bills do not return in new and dangerous forms. Please sign our petition, and we will keep you informed of any efforts to bring SOPA and PIPA back from the dead. Thank you for all you've done -- and keep fighting. - Don't Censor the Net Paid for by Don't Censor the Net. |
