Anti-SOPA public lists - Alyona


Those who are anti-SOPA and anti-PROTECT IP have made public lists featuring those lawmakers who stand behind the broad-sweeping internet censorship bill. And they've even worked hard to stage petitions to protest the proposed laws, which have been pretty successful thus far. Paul Ryan for example, after Reddittors learned that the republican representative didn't take a clear stance on SOPA, they actually raised money for Ryan's congressional opponent. Ryan released a statement explaining that he's not a co-sponsor of the bill, and even forced him to come out against SOPA just yesterday. Democratic representative Bob Goodlatte, and Republican Marsha Blackburn are also preparing for backlash in the form of support for their opponents. Source
