This is very good news. SOPA is gone.
Now what we really need is SUGR (Stop US Government Republicans). |

Don't worry, Hollywood will find a way to put a new coat of paint on it and buy the politicians all over again. (It's an election year, Politicians need to double dip to pay for the campaigns.)

SOPA is not gone. It is on a back burner. this means they can still bring it back after they think everyone has forgotten about it.

This was supposed to be a "one down, one to go"-type thread. Please let's not turn it into a "whose fault is this?!?!?"-thread.
PIPA hasn't been dropped by Congress yet! We have one more target we need to work on. |

But it's the head of the republicans who is very dangerous to the USA. And overall, they are against anything that's actually good for the working class people.

I am trying to not let things go down the bashing path. Both parties have people who backed this, so neither side is blameless. With that in mind, you cannot bash one side and not the other without being hypocritical. Best to just say that everyone needs improvement and move on.
Now, hopefully PIPA can get knocked down too. And remember, it can always be brought back another session if it gets totally defeated. We've not seen the last of this. |

while SOPA is indeed evil i just wish there had been this level of internet outrage against the outright fascistic NDAA....which was signed by a democrat president. indefinite detention of american citizens without charge,trial or representation is pretty anti-working class. just sayin'.....
this is indeed good news but those against it can't rest until its dead, not just put aside for "reexamination". |
