The Raw Story‘s article Senator plans first ever Internet-fueled filibuster describes Wyden’s fight against these bills.

…Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) will filibuster a bill — the Protect IP Act, which aims to fundamentally change the structure of the Internet — with a little help from his friends and admirers online.

Here is a brief video of Wyden made for promoting his campaign against these bills.

Here is the link to www.StopCensorship.org where you can sign the petition and become part of the filibuster.

One of the paragraphs in the article that caught my attention was the following:

Corporations could also use SOPA claims to force companies to stop processing donations to whistleblower sites like WikiLeaks that post documents protected by copyright or containing trade secrets. The bill would additionally require Internet service providers to “take technically feasible and reasonable measures” to block “rogue” sites from their customers, essentially creating a massive Internet blacklist.

The shutting down of payments to WikiLeaks was exactly the technique that was used to close down WikiLeaks entire operation. Without the disclosures that WikiLeaks made, many governments including the U.S. would be free to continue to tell the lies they have used to trick us into adopting policies that are bad for us. Some of what WikiLeaks has already disclosed is helping us to see the hysterical propaganda against Iran for what it really is. They show that the current head of the IAEA is a puppet of the U.S. government. He seems to be willing to promote the particular lies that the U.S. government wants to promote.
