I am sorry guys. Truly, truly sorry. I had hoped that with the tremendous success we all achieved on the 18th that we might be allowed a bit more time to rest.
But I must blow the whistle again. Because Lamar Smith, the magnificent bastard behind SOPA, has created another bill of truly Orwellian terror.
This time he has created the bill H.R. 1981 that monitors your credit card and bank activity. It requires that Internet Providers hold on to information about your browsing history for up to 18 months. Meanwhile, police are allowed to investigate your activities if they suspect you of any crime.
Worse yet, this bill is being disguised as "Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act of 2011". That's right, he's hiding a bill straight from "1984" as something to stop child pornography, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with it.
It is clear that Lamar Smith will not stop until the Internet is completely under government control. He does not care if he is invading our privacy with bills like SOPA and PIPA. It seems that the only course of action left is to confront him directly. If he refuses to stop creating these types of bills, then he needs to understand that the people will not tolerate his actions.
People from Texas, do your utmost to ensure this "public servant" does NOT get reelected.
