blogging is my passion

January 18, 2012 - 4:06pm - by admin

I try to do it every day, at least once a day.

I've made great friends, connections, and opportunities as a result of my little slice of The Internet.

honestly, I'm not sure what I'd do without it.

but the U.S. Congress is in the process of trying to push forward legislation that would not only affect me and my blog, but the entire Internet as we know it, which is completely unacceptable.

there are lots of great sites that are blacked-out today in protest of the two pieces of legislation, SOPA and PIPA
reddit
wired
imgur
the busblog
wikipedia
the oatmeal
and lots more

and for the rest of the day, I'll be joining the protest and not posting anything further on my blog.

it's not much, but it's a start.

so get yourself educated and if you're in the US, write your member of Congress asking them to vote against the bill. if you're a non-US citizen like me, you can petition the state department.

don't let the foolish actions of a few destroy something that is important to so many.
