CISPA Passes The House

Not a shock really, Republicans want a permanent underclass and all the breaks/protections for the rich. A lot of Democrats voted for the bill too. I just called my Rep. and let them know they will not have my support at all this November. I had called before the vote too, but they don't listen unless you are a Lobbyist with bundles of cash. The vote is here. The name in the Yay section in Italics, are the few Democrats that support making George Orwell's 1984 a reality.

Congress could have easily fixed this piece of crap. Besides going after anyone doing the slightest bit of forum downloads (even if you thought it was not copyrighted), they will hold the ISPs harmless for sharing your personal information (bye Constitution). It's like a legal conspiracy to screw Americans. Regardless, there are already adequate laws in place to protect intellectual property.

They are even giving security clearances to ISP personnel (and I assume telecoms), which makes sense since they will have access to some threat database. I think this also gets around that pesky 4th Amendment.

I support the part of the bill that want's to strenghen the internet's infrastructure, and share knowledge of vulnerabilities across ISPs and Government. Pass that.

SOPA And PIPA Has A New Friend; CISPA

This bill could easily be ammended to just deal with real Internet Threats.  Take out all the "intellectial property" reference.  There are already laws on the books to deal with that...

The person you want to contact is Rep Mike Rogers of Michigan's District 8.
