Stop the Internet Blacklist!

Just the other day, President Obama urged other countries to stop censoring the Internet. But now the United States Congress is trying to censor the Internet here at home. A new bill being debated this week would have the Attorney General create an Internet blacklist of sites that US Internet providers would be required to block.

This is the kind of heavy-handed censorship you'd expect from a dictatorship, where one man can decide what web sites you're not allowed to visit. But the Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to pass the bill this week -- and Senators say they haven't heard much in the way of objections! That's why we need you to sign our urgent petition to Congress demanding they oppose the Internet blacklist.

PETITION TO THE SENATE: Censoring the Internet is something we'd expect from China or Iran, not the U.S. Senate. You need to stop this Internet blacklist in its tracks and oppose S. 3804.

Signed. I can't believe they're trying again. It's been stopped once...

I better not get any negative emails from signing this thing... though I expect I will.

its been done before

I'll answer that like you were asking a question. The internet was never "blacklisted," but they were trying to force website owners to pay the major ISP's to allow their site to be accessed, and having to pay google, yahoo, etc. to find their website in the search engine. That was being voted on like 5 or 6 years ago if i remember correctly. Just after I was able to vote... so yea... about 6 years ago. It was stopped.

I tried to sign, but even though it says leave zip code bank, it still will not let me sign. I wanted to sign, because if it passes in the USA, the buffoons that are so adept at wasting our tax dollars here. will two step right behind and try to pass the same thing here in Canada.
