The Internet Blackout of 2012

Hello, Hello, People of the Internet. It is I, the Generic Guy!

I, like so many of you, participated in The Internet Blackout of 2012.  This truly was a historic event; this was the day that we showed Congress, that we showed the Big Media supporting the bill, Hell, we showed the World that we will not roll over and submit to SOPA and PIPA, simply because Congress and the Senate demand it.

But this fight is not over. PIPA goes before a vote on January 24th. We cannot let it pass.  If PIPA passes, then all this work--all this amazing work--that we have done, would have been for naught.  If PIPA passes, it would give the Government the momentum to pass SOPA, and if that happens, we can kiss the internet goodbye.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Internet, Lovers of Freedom, Liberty and Knowledge; we are fighting a war. A war for the Freedom of the Internet, a war for the very survival of the Internet, a War that if not won, it would destroy EVERYTHING we know and love. This is a war I plan on winning.

We must keep the pressure on. Continue to Tweet, Facebook, Reddit; keep talking about this. Talk to your friends and family, keep calling your Congressmen/women.  Do everything you possibly can to continue to show your support for a Free Internet.

We hit SOPA and PIPA hard during the Blackout, but they are not down.  They are hiding in the closet, like boogeymen, waiting for us to relax our position and fall asleep.  We must not rest, not until SOPA and PIPA are buried 6 feet below!

This is war. And this is a war we will win!
