Stop SOPA and PIPA


Help us spread the word about the Stop Online Piracy Act, scheduled for debate and vote on January 24. This dangerous act has broad support in Congress because of large campaign contributions made by television, film, music industry, publishing houses and big banks.

We need to tell Congress that they work for us, not for the media and banks. Tell them that voters don't want this bill. We don't want to change the Internet, giving more control to big business, and less influence to individuals.

These bills are designed to legally squelch competition, reduce our ability to speak our minds online, and to share information with others.

Under the guise of piracy prevention and homeland security, these bills pose a real threat to small business and will hamper freedom of speech, freedom of protest, and freedom to assemble.

Tell your Senators and your Representative in Congress to stop SOPA & PIPA. They are anti-small business. They are anti-Internet freedom. They are anti-American. Tell them you are a voter, and you won't allow the Internet to be sold to big business. Tell them their jobs depend on this vote!

Beach Days with a Pink Umbrella

Terrific photos submitted by one of our readers, Liz. It looks like the rain has just stopped on the beach, so there's no need for this umbrella anymore.

Assault Team

Here is an intense facebook cover for videogame, military, or police enthusiasts. As cool as it is, I hope I never see this weapon from this end in real life.
