I emailed Franken and Klobuchar against internet censorship bill

[Eric J in MN]

I used the form on this website:

I edited the text of the letter to:
================================
Please oppose SOPA and Protect IP.

I am concerned about letting ISPs decide on their own to block websites for supposed copyright infringement. This violates Net Neutrality.

I am also concerned about making internet streaming a crime. This would hurt musicians who do cover songs. It would also hurt other people who post short videos which engage in Fair Use.
================================

If you write them, feel free to use some of my words.

1. I received a reply from Senator Franken today

It's disappointing.

He supports shelving the bill, but he says this:

Frankly, there is a lot of misinformation floating around out there: If this bill really could do some of the things people have heard it would do (like shutting down Wikipedia or YouTube), I'd never support it. But even so, I believe we need to seriously consider the many concerns that constituents have shared.

So, Senator Franken, I would assume the EFF and the ACLU are wrong about what this bill can do?
