Can someone cite a source either on the GoDaddy site or a .gov site? I don’t doubt it personally, but I’d like to see an official source for the statement. This being the Internet and all.

  Holy mackerel! I hadn't realized how badly the deck was stacked. If you go to the page [1] that links to that document, you'll be horrified. The official page of the House Judiciary Committee shows that the committee has completely made up its mind already. In addition to this list of supporters, they are full of links to supportive letters, pro-SOPA press releases, etc. There is not one single item on that page to reveal that anyone is opposing this. It seems to me that before a bill is approved, and especially at this point, still in committee, the legislature ought to try to maintain some balance. They ought to at least acknowledge that there are alternate points of view, and show those alongside the supporters. [1] http://judiciary.house.gov/issues/issues_RogueWebsites.html http://judiciary.house.gov/issues/issues_RogueWebsites.html UPDATE: I just called Rep. Lamar Smith to complain about this, since he heads the committee. The person taking the calls said that's a committee issue, and forwarded me to them. As soon as I started explaining my concern to the committee phone-answerer, they stopped me and forwarded me to another line, that allows me to record comments "for the full committee", and which is "checked periodically". In other words, there doesn't seem to be any real way to complain to the committee about this. UPDATE 2: I talked to my own Representative (or rather, his assistant). There doesn't seem to be any process where he can feed comments about this to the committee.

    SOPA and NDAA are the latest [giant] steps toward totalitarian tyranny in the US. The moves are blatant and any opposing voices are simply ignored.

    This "fact" sheet was the most disturbing document for me to read: http://judiciary.house.gov/issues/Rouge%20Websites/Stop%20Online%20Piracy%20Act%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf http://judiciary.house.gov/issues/Rouge%20Websites/Stop%20On... More like "opinion" sheet, there isn't a single fact on there.
