Yesterday, I wrote about a piece of federal legislation designed to stifle the Internet the Senate was going to vote on next Tuesday. Well I have some good news! The Senate vote has been delayed. (Even better, similar Congressional legislation has been withdrawn.)
On Wednesday, web sites such as Mozilla Firefox, blocked themselves to protest federal legislation designed to censor the internet and impose a greater regulatory burden on innovative Internet companies. Mozilla, for example, directed visitors to a special action page and this encouraged people send more than 360,000 emails to legislators in the Senate and Congress. This effort, together with that from other internet-based sites such as Google and Wikipedia, pushed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to delay the vote in the Senate.
This means we must remain vigilant. Be sure our Senators Mike Enzi and John Barrasso, and Congressman Cynthia Lummis know how you feel about this attack on our freedom of speech.
