Stand with Tech Entrepreneurs; Call Congress now to Stop SOPA
Today, 17 Web luminaries sent a letter to Congress opposing SOPA - the Internet censoring, innovation killing copyright legislation.
Will you stand with them and call Congress now.
Please spread the word to friends too - SOPA is heading for a committee vote tomorrow, so time is of the essence. The founders' letter will run as print ads, full page in today's New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Washington Times, Roll Call, The Hill, Politico, and CQ. You will not be able to pick up a paper in the DC area (or, really, many other places) without reading this letter. There will also be an online ad on CNET, TechCrunch, Gigaom, and Mashable, and Politico already has a story up. The ads point to a call Congress alert run by Engine Advocacy: http://stopthewall.us/
Hi. We're Engine.
We’re very excited to see our plans for Engine come to fruition - creating a platform for communication between one of the fastest growing and valuable industries and the decision makers in government is something we are very passionate about. We're launching our full website today and we want the site to be a collaborative space to engage on issues of importance to the tech industry - like our opposition to the controversial anti-piracy bills SOPA and PIPA.
We want Engine to be a catalyst for positive change that will benefit our community as a whole. That means creating a dialogue where none currently exists, and through action, education, and collaboration, changing the landscape of the American economy. We want Engine to be the portal through which you can become active and engaged - by being plugged into a network of other interested individuals, by directing public policy through legislative action, and by driving growth in key sectors.
