BeefyKunoichi: Please take the time to call your local representative regarding this bill. Protect expression. Protect the internet.

(ooc) GUYS THIS JUST HAPPENED TO MY DASH. Yesterday I was was wondering what all this talk about the Internet bill was, and I thought it was small - BUT GUYS, TUMBLR STAFF IS NOW ASKING FOR OUR SUPPORT. SO…. I’M OFFICIALLY FREAKING OUT.

((Followers, you know what to do. Go, my legion!))

Do not ignore this. Do not scroll past. Take action.

HEY

DO THIS TOO

My biggest concern about this is that most members of Congress do not seem particularly familiar with internet culture.  The Protect IP Act and SOPA may well sound like a noble cause to them.  They may not be fully aware of the destructive impact on sites like tumblr (nor the subsequent destructive impact on artists who rely on such social networks as a source of community and even a source of livelihood).

Please take a moment to make a little noise about this.  It’s really easy to send an email to your representative.  Heck, the text is already pre-written for you if you don’t want to type your own thoughts out.

I have already signed and reblogged a few times, but ^that^ comment (“… most members of Congress do not seem particularly familiar with internet culture.  The Protect IP Act and SOPA may well sound like a noble cause to them.  They may not be fully aware of the destructive impact…”) deserves another reblog because it’s so true.
