I wonder how much public opinion info was gathered off the facebooks and the forums.

How big a roll did all those government contractors play.

Next we'll see the sockpuppets start a campaign

How ironic.

I wonder how much this all cost the taxpayers ?

If Obama doesn't sign off on SOPA then it's because he's getting pressure
from Google, Twitter, Facebook and the other big internet corporations that
have threatened a blackout. Ha! He's going to support it. Just another dog
and pony show.

He signed off on the NDAA, we've got detention centers set up all over the
country, we are being spied on every which way from Sunday and LE doesn't
need a warrant to do it, predator drones flying over major cities capable of
launching grenades at people, an economy on the verge of collapse with
people losing their homes and their jobs at record rates with no end in sight,
Americans are being assasinated without a trial. Oh and, how many
wars are we involved in? Maybe thats a moot point if it turns into one big war...
And do not forget the oil, protestors being brutalized and denied basic civil rights by
the police with brand new toys from the military or their buddies in the federal government
running guns and drugs to/for the Mexican drug cartels and laundering their drug money.
Please forgive my anxious, worrisome stream of consciousness but I just don't see how SOPA will
not be passed.

White House Will Not Support SOPA

Well that just confirms it, they will back SOPA.

Yep. The smoke screen is in place. Left wing Huffington Post puts something out saying Obama is one of them afterall ... (just in time for the election cycle!) but what Obama is doing IRL and behind the scenes seems to be something else entirely.

Look what VERO did to ebay., SOPA is VERO for the internet.

Boise threatened to sue me because I sold a pair of headphones on ebay, that were MINE . They were authentic.
Boise made me send in pictures of all the serial numbers on them or go to court. I sent them in but was still not allowed to list them. We now boycott this company.

Those that back SOPA want to see sights like ebay and craigslist gone all together. They want it so you can not
resell anything. Then you have states that already have yard sale laws, where you have to pay for a permit and only once a year.

So these companies want us to buy and not resell for their bottom dollar. What is theirs is theirs and what is ours is theirs. I have so had it with this. You want to see an end to this? We need to make lobbying and kickbacks illegal. It is the only way. These businesses pay off a few men to set law for an entire nation.
This should be illegal!! This entire subject really burns me to a high point of anger,

Maybe this was all a set-up, so Obama could shut it down to gain votes and confidence... Because internet is a common interest amongst ALL North Americans for sure.

How did the bill get this far along, knowing it would get shut down? Interesting... Maybe it wasn't "tight" enough yet and was just an introductory? In a few year, it will be tweak and re-announced?

edit on 14-1-2012 by CALGARIAN because: (no reason given)

It's an election year. Time to start kissing butt to get people to forget the right's robbing legislation over the last 3 years and become pro-constitutional in the public eye.

Bah, the president can say he wont sign this and wont sign that. I loved it how he said he would sign the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, but did it.

In the end, they do what they are told by ... well, whoever is REALLY running the show.

Just wait till Obama gets re-elected and he will not have to worry about re-election.

You better hope he doesn't support SOPA.

The White House is saying they will not support SOPA,what about PIPA? Joe Libermann is pushing it hard,I was just watching an interview with him and he's squawking about "national security." and so forth.As for Murdock I feel his pain...
