To read more about this Bill, there's a full article over on Oh No They Didn't-Political, which can be found here.

If you can, please contact your House Representative. If you don't know their number, there's a page on Tumblr that will connect you to them. There's also a link entitled, "Email them", where you can sign the petition.

DemandProgress.org had a petition going, but they turned it in to Congress yesterday--while standing alongside Congressmembers Zoe Lofgren and Darrell Issa... with well over 500,000 signatures.

This bill is holding hearings today. Do you realize what will happen if this passes? Take a second and think about what this means to you on a national level; on a personal level; on an interpersonal...hell, even in regards to something like a fandom.. This bill is big, guys. :(

Edit 11/16; 5:15PM: If this Bill passes, here are some sites that could potentially be blocked off to the American people:

-Facebook
-Livejournal
-Twitter
-The Pirate Bay
-Megaupload
-Megavideo
-Mediafire
-Wordpress
-Almost any forum site
-Tumblr

...Well, that's nice. :|

Well that is just fucked up. :-/ For gawds sake, USA!!! STOP being such a fucking world police! :-/ You are NOT the greatest country in the world! Your laws are NOT the best! Other countries DO exist, thank you! Now leave the rest of the world the FUCK alone! *pissed*

Edit to clarify: It is the government and the policicians I am pissed at. NOT the US-people. Really. You should all know me better than that.

Apparently Obama will veto the bill if it comes to that. (http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/192349-obama-threatens-to-veto-resolution-repealing-net-neutrality-rules)

We're not the best, no, but our country is still pretty fucking good. We're taking care of protesting, thanks, and honestly, that last part offends me. Check the number of sigs on the petition and hold off slamming the USA.
