ON WEDNESDAY JANUARY 18, THIS SITE WENT DARK AS PART OF A NATIONAL PROTEST AGAINST THE PROPOSED HOUSE "STOP ONLINE PIRACY ACT" (SOPA), AND THE SENATE "PROTECTING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ACT" (PIPA). THIS IS WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE FOUND.
If passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama, these bills would create a regime of censorship making the internet in the USA as restrictive as in China, Iran, and Syria. Basically, all sites such as Wikipedia, Youtube, Facebook, and Google, would be subject to arbitrary and capricious shut-downs for even being suspected of displaying unauthorized intellectual property, and without due process.

WHICH POLITICAL PARTY DOES YOUR MONEY REALLY SUPPORT? Think you're on top of it? Nationally, when you count consumer purchases and the political contributions of the companies where those purchases are made, the Sunlight Foundation's Influence Explorer shows that we're supporting Republican candidates even when we don't write them a check. Does this annoy you???? Knowledge is power, and knowing what companies you're supporting with your money from your everyday purchases lets you think about alternatives.
Happy New Year, and a more economically environmentaly equitable everywhere!
Where's the mainstream media been? See what's going on with this movement to restore people's democratic rights, respond to corporate abuses, and articulate a progressive vision for the future.
