First, SOPA is a horrible piece of damaging legislation. You can read more about that at Name.com’s blog here: Getting On Our SOPA Box and watch a very telling video about it here: Be a HERO and Help STOP SOPA Now!!. Essentially, the same companies that are pushing for SOPA are the same ones that have been distributing piracy software and promoting piracy itself for over a decade,

This post is about contacting your congressman, congresswoman, and senators to let them know how you feel about SOPA.

Find your senators:
senate.gov

Find your congressperson:
house.gov

At both of those sites you enter your zip code and or address to find your representatives. You have one representative in congress and two state senators. Do this now!

Once you get to the contact page you will then need to fill in your information. Use your correct info so that they know you are a legitimately concerned citizen. You can use your own words if you like but here is an example of the message I sent my representatives:

How come the same companies that are pushing for and supporting SOPA are the same ones that have been distributing and promoting piracy software, and piracy itself, for over a decade? They’ve sued and had individuals jailed for doing the exact same thing they have been advocating on their own websites, using software they distribute via their own websites. It’s an outrage.

Watch this entire video, it’s a huge eye opener:

SOPA is of course only one example of corporations complete hypocrisy. I think you should play this video for your colleagues when debating SOPA and pretty much any law corporate lobbyists are pushing so that everyone can see how lawmakers are being used as pawns to help fulfill these horrendous corporate agendas.
