• On August 24, 2012, by stewey2000 - no congress, you don't get to make any more laws regarding the internet. Your credibility is so low I won't even think of giving you a chance. Your only hope is a very public very clear bill that has at least a 6 month long national pr campaign before its even introduced. no more of these sneaky bills just trying to slip by.

• On April 03, 2012, by mickeywhite3 - Why does Marsha, (Co-Sponsor of SOPA), Want Congress to Regulate the Internet? Why not just say NO FEDERAL branch (the FCC and congress and the federal courts included) has any authority to decide or rule on any aspect concerning the Internet? BUT Marsha Blackburn did Vote FOR: Patriot Act Reauthorization, Electronic Surveillance, Funding the REAL ID Act (National ID), Foreign Intelligence Surveillance, Thought Crimes “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act, Warrantless Searches, Employee Verification Program, Body Imaging Screening, Patriot Act extension; and only NOW she is worried about free speech, privacy, and government take over of the internet? Marsha Blackburn is my Congressman. See her “blatantly unconstitutional” votes at : http://mickeywhite.blogspot.com/2009/09/tn-congressman-marsha-blackburn-votes.html Mickey
