[Chapter-delegates] Tomorrow Hearing on SOPA in U.S. House of Representatives

[David Solomonoff]

 From the Demand Progress website. They have an online petition 
demanding that opponents of the bill be allowed to testify:
>
> 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.
>
> *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.*
>
> 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.
>
> This sham of a hearing represents everything that's broken about our 
> political system.
