Misguided Republicans are sponsoring a bill that will hurt YOUR freedoms. I actually LIKE some of the people who are sponsoring this mess, so I'm kind of with Eric Erickson / RedState (below). Here's a link for a Google petition you can sign to help send a message to Congress. Do some research. Take a look at this mess. Drudge has a link to a New York Times story that gives a good wrap up. Anyway, here's the petition link: https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/. If you don't like Google, I would bet there are a zillion different ones floating around.
Oh, Heritage has a great article on this issue also. I received it in my morning email batch (love getting Heritage info, Morning Bell - be sure to sign up if you haven't). Here's a link to their write up: http://blog.heritage.org/2012/01/18/morning-bell-an-internet-blackout-over-sopa-and-pipa/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Morning%2BBell.
You know, we have to teach our representatives to READ THE STUPID BILLS and think about the long-term repercussions of their actions. Grrrr....
One good thing about this one? All sides out here in non-political-elite-land, from Democrat to Libertarian to Republican to I-don't-care-a-fig-about-politics are united!
From Eric Erickson via email distro:
Today is an unusual day at RedState.
Many websites around the nation and the world are going dark today in solidarity against SOPA, the Stopping Online Piracy Act (SOPA) pending in Congress. Many of this site’s good friends, like Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Marco Rubio of Florida (a co-sponsor of the Protect IP Act in the Senate, which is the Senate version of SOPA) are supporters of this horrible legislation that would give Eric Holder and future attorneys general the right to shut down websites with minimal, if any, due process.
While it pains us to do so, we are committed to working against the re-election of each Republican co-sponsor of SOPA and Protect IP, including Rep. Blackburn and Sen. Rubio. Both pieces of legislation overreach their goals and will harm the internet.
We hope the Republican co-sponsors of these pieces of legislation will remove their names and we hope the legislation will die. In solidarity with those sites shutting down today to show you the potential impact of this legislation, RedState will suspend posting new content for much of today.
On the front page of RedState you’ll find a tool you can use to contact your member of Congress and urge they oppose both SOPA and Protect IP.

President Obama: Respect My Pro-Life Convictions
The following is a petition (link at the end). In addition to signing the petition, if this is an issue for you as it is for me, PLEASE bombard the White House with calls. I think we just need to make it part of our daily routine to call the White House and voice our concern about this and any other issue on the table. We need to be sending emails, calling, writing letters and sending up message balloons to ALL of our elected officials.
Congress and the White House are seemingly completely disconnected from mainstream America, from what the majority of America. We need to stand up, speak out and get involved or we're doing to lose everything we hold precious in our country.
Writing blogs is no longer enough. We definitely need blogs, we need social accounts, we need to be networking and sharing and getting the word out. However, we now have to put some feet with our words. Find out about your local Tea Party, contact your local Republican or Libertarian Party. Fire up your Democrat friends. Start neighborhood discussion groups. Act.
Our country is being destroyed one bill at a time. They're chipping away little by little, sneaking in language that has long term negative repercussions.
Here's the petition. Please sign it, then call, too.
You have strong convictions, but President Obama says that doesn’t matter. He’s ready to rescind the Conscience Clause.
The Conscience Clause was implemented by former President George W. Bush to give physicians and nurses the choice to act according to their conscience — to not participate in abortion procedures if it conflicts with their personal convictions. If President Obama makes this damaging move, if he reverses the Conscience Clause, pro-life doctors and nurses will be forced into performing abortion procedures, despite their individual beliefs.
The announcement was made Friday, March 6, 2009. Since the official announcement was made, the public now has 30 days to file comments with the White House ... so we’ve got 30 days to make our voices heard at the White House.Make a difference in this nation and stand for the freedom to act according to your conscience. Sign the online “Petition to Protect Pro-Life Doctors” below now. It will be delivered and filed at the White House no later than April 8, 2009. Get the word out now.
BE HEARD!
Petition to Protect Pro-Life Doctors
President Barack Obama, As citizens of the United States of America, we enjoy the freedom to act according to our good conscience. This is not a freedom or responsibility we take lightly, nor one which should be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.We strongly urge you today to uphold the personal convictions of America’s pro-life healthcare providers. Do not use your hand to force them by law to act against their good conscience when it comes to participating in abortion procedures. Please respect the personal convictions of the citizens of America and do not rescind the Conscience Clause.

Read My Lipstick Network Continues to Expand!
"Let's Get It Right" has joined our growing group of bloggers! I am always uplifted when I read our member blogs and see the number of quality individuals out there working hard to preserve our values and freedoms. You all give me great hope for the future of our country, and our world.
Here's the link to Carlos Echevarria's blog: http://carlosechevarria.blogspot.com/
Please add it to your blog lists, your favorite lists and be sure to read his blog.
We're getting down to the wire! I'd like to encourage everyone to visit www.wam08.org and sign up to listen to their conference call tomorrow night at 8 p.m. Great words, great marching orders!
If you're Catholic, go check out www.catholicvote.com and sign up. You'll get an invitation to listen to a webcast or phone call tomorrow night at 9 p.m. from www.priestsforlife.org. The focus of these groups is to elect a pro-life President. If that is an issue of importance to you, please sign up and see what you can do to help their efforts in these last few days.
I've been visiting the McCain website and making phone calls when I have a few minutes. I have had some great conversations with people in Wisconsin and Florida thus far. It's encouraging to DO something positive to reach voters. We're not alone, we are the majority, we need to raise our voices and put every effort towards getting John McCain and Sarah Palin into the White House!!!
