From the Demand Progress website. They have an online petition
demanding that opponents of the bill be allowed to testify:<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<p>Irony Alert: The House is holding hearings on sweeping Internet
censorship legislation this week -- and it's censoring the
opposition! The bill is backed by Hollywood, Big Pharma, and
the Chamber of Commerce, and all of them are going to get to
testify at the hearing.</p>
<p><strong>But the bill's opponents -- tech companies, free speech
and human rights activists, and hundreds of thousands of
Internet users -- won't have a voice.</strong></p>
<p>As if you need a reminder: This is the most offensive Internet
legislation we've seen in years. It will give the government
and corporations new powers to block Americans' access to sites
that are accused of copyright infringement, force sites like
YouTube to go to new lengths to police users' contributions, and
put people in prison for streaming certain content online.</p>
<p>This sham of a hearing represents everything that's broken
about our political system.</p>

If you have a website big or small you can add an anti-censorship
logo to your site tomorrow:<br>
