Sacramento for Democracy (http://sacramentofordemocracy.org) will join thousands of websites across the world in an internet blackout on Wed. January 18, 2012 as we oppose the current internet censorship legislation in congress known as SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act). We do this to raise awareness of this huge threat to an open internet.

On Jan 24th, Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed. We need to kill the bill - PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House - to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity.
