In my opinion, those seeking to give the ability to censor the Internet to unaccountable government agencies are un-American traitors. These are people who do not understand, or willfully choose to ignore, that it is exactly the commitment to civil liberties and freedoms of thought and communcations that created the conditions which enabled the invention of the Internet and the World Wide Web.
Don't let these people screw that up.

This is a list of legislators who support net censorship as obtained from Wikipedia on Jan 18. Some of them supported it before they were against it.
Look through this list. If you are in any of their districts, I suggest you vote for (or better yet, donate money to) their opponents at every opportunity. Many are up for re-election in November.
