Board 8 > Victory for the Internet! [SOPA]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sponsors for both SOPA and PIPA have withdrawn both acts from consideration. Neither will be voted on. They may try this again someday, but for now the Internet is safe.

SuperNiceDog had a super nice bracket too.

no we need to let it pass so we will be outraged enough to do something about it!

Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter?
Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

Shelved doesn't mean over and done with.

It just means "I'll get you next time, Gadget! Next time..."

Yeah, they shot the general in the face with a shotgun so they don't feel the need to push things further right now.

they'll sneak the important parts of it into some unrelated bill at some point anyway, this isn't over until everyone involved is fired. don't vote for these people.

Your votes sadly doesn't mean anything. Money can buy new people.

Then you vote the bought out guys too. Sooner than later the smart ones will fully disclose their funding and the ties will be easier to match. From there the trend needs to catch on.

what king said, in theory the people can win out eventually, it just requires FAR more resolve, awareness, and intelligence than the american people actually possess.

they will probably do what they always do with something they want to pass and just attach it to the military budget so you have to vote for it or you hate america

Can we have an up or down vote on this in Congress? I liked it better when it was actually possible for a bill to be voted down in Congress, instead of the current system of never voting on anything until it's guaranteed to pass.
