Stop SOPA Blackout Journal

Do you care about your rights?

I care about your rights.  SOPA is an infringement upon our rights.  Do you want the government controlling which websites it approves the use of?  Our freedoms for thought and free speech need to be protected for free internet.  In protest, blackout your pages, go silent, spread the word.  Petition sites you care about to do the same.

We request all website administrators worldwide - and especially those running large user-content websites - to black out their website at the same time, to voice their opposition of SOPA and PROTECT IP.

We need to work together, across the globe, to stop SOPA and PIPA.  Join the fight to keep the Internet free of censorship!  Don't let bigots and politicians decide what's best for you to see online!

To spread the word, post this in your signature, on your Facebook/Tumblr/Twitter, on your YouTube, POST IT EVERYWHERE!
This account will remain silent on #J18 January 18th, 8am-8pm (EST) as a protest against SOPA/PIPA.

I'll be offline from EVERYTHING from 8AM on the 18th to 8AM on the 19th (EST)!  Twelve hours is good for the protest, twenty-four is better. :iconsupe
SOPA! Wednesday is blackout dayLet's all go against it!

If you're unsure what SOPA is it stands for: Stop Online Piracy Act.

Wikipedia and a few other organisations will be blacking out their websites on Wednesday the 18th. :iconGillianIvy: made this theme, so I figured I'd use it to show my support- probably will be busy working on my project anyways. :S

This Account Will Be Blacked OutGreetings! In participation with #StopSOPA, I've decided that this account shall be blacked out on Wednesday from 8 am to 8pm to protest SOPA and PIPA. I honestly don't know what I will do with myself. You all have fair warning.

Protest SOPA and PIPA. Especially you American peoples. Write your congressman and representatives, tell them not to vote for either.

Get the skin and spread the word.
