Matt Macaluso said “Instead of a “Boycott Day” how about a “Call Your Representative Day?” Come on people.”  Really? You actually think that works?  Bob Dole, the traitor of the early 90′s was getting approximately 2000 to 1 calls / emails (from the few that had emails at the time) / letters, etc. AGAINST the GATT and NAFTA Trade Agreements because that’s how many letters / phone calls, etc he said the received.  A few moments later on the news clip he says: “I realize that the vast majority of my constituents are against these treaties but I have to vote my conscience for what’s best for America.”  I jumped out of my sofa and screamed “YOUR CONSCIENCE BOB? REALLY?” “OMFG! We’ve reached the point in our country where we now “elect” our dictators and the stupid news media lemmings; communist trained collegiate / uneducated buffoons when it comes to knowing Constitutional Law don’t even see how treasonous that statement is!”  The reporter didn’t even flinch. I wonder, at that moment how many other Americans, that saw the very same news piece I did reacted like I did.  Back in the late 1700′s they didn’t have the means to do electronic voting by each individual person in the country (which is what we should have today to vote on bills).  So, then the framers opted for the only thing available.  This is where elected officials are supposed to spend 6 months or more living (being there physically) in their districts with open doors so that they can talk to the people; find out what the people want and don’t want – then they are to go back to Washington and VOTE the WILL of the PEOPLE!  We’ve lost that because our educational system has not been teaching this and the corporate sponsored news media promotes the opposite. I think that the Bob Dole piece was craftily placed there deliberately to see how many Americans would respond negatively.  No big uproar, then that means then the people we thought we beat in the Cold War, by us having more military might, actually won because we didn’t see how they infiltrated the schools and government THINKING.  In the late 1700′s Bob would have been tarred and feathered and would have been drawn and quartered.  In 1993/4 nobody notices the blatant error.  It’s even more pronounced today. I call it Legislators run amok passing anything that they want regardless of people’s wishes.  The only time Legislators are concerned about you is when they are trying to get your vote. But, to get your vote they need money, so the money is more important because with money, they have the chance to woo you for your vote! You lose out to the money men.  Our Congress is neck deep in the corporate I-got-you-by-the-balls-quick-sand and they’re unlikely to care much about what the “public” thinks – not to mention a very important fact and that is the people making these decisions and writing this legislation are technological idiots. Few of them, in these positions of power, if any, actually know what the Internet really is.  I started using the Internet in November, 1991, two weeks after Tim Berners-Lee introduced it to the world. Sorry if you didn’t have the fantastic fortune to have used a NeXT Computer at that time you were out of luck. What a glorious time that was. No spam, no clutter, no captcha, no junk so to speak. The only thing missing was streaming videos.  I’m surprised that this SOPA type of clamp down has taken so long to materialize.  Bottom line is you can write your representatives (that in 90% of the cases have no idea what a representative government is) but more than likely they have been bought already.  I did my part I wrote two letters. Let’s see how much they pay attention.  My money is on SOPA because CONGRESS reeks with (please supply your own adjectives)
Reddit user SelfProdigy is announcing December 29th is Dump GoDaddy Day.  The idea stems from GoDaddy's short-lived support of the SOPA act, and is gaining speed outside the Reddit community.
