This bill if passed into law is the end of FreeRepublic.com .

Within weeks of implementation of the regulatory apparatus legislated in this bill, there will be hundreds of falsified complaints against each and every political website under the Jurisdiciton of the United States of America.

This bill will destroy everything that has been built here on FR and amongst various political and socio-political websites over the last 15 years.

This bill was specifically written to destroy ALL political speech on the internet.

And the Republicans are the ones railroading this through Congress.

It’s all over folks.

True.

Within weeks of implementation of the regulatory apparatus legislated in this bill, there will be hundreds of falsified complaints against each and every political website under the Jurisdiciton of the United States of America. They don't even need to falsify the complaints -- all it takes is for somebody with a grudge or an agenda to upload infringing material (or even fair-use material which can be misrepresented as infringing), and voila! -- instant grounds to cut FR off the Net and prohibit any bank or other financial institution from processing donations to it.

It is indeed Ironic as if the republicans are successful most of them will lose their jobs due to the fact that the vast majority of their support base will be shut down using this unconstitutional and easy to abuse legislation.

Just as similar legislation in Canada regarding hate speech was used to persecute political enemy’s by those with the pockets for lawyers.

Many Republican congressmen seem determent going to hang themselves & their supporters with SOPA.

It’s not over until it’s over. Perhaps a good time for Jim Robinson to register www. freerepublic. RU
