Some mail I've received yesterday (about SOPA & PIPA)

Today was nuts, right?
Google launched a petition. Wikipedia voted to shut itself off. Senators' websites went down just from the sheer surge of voters trying to write them. NYC and SF geeks had protests that packed city blocks.
You made history today: nothing like this has ever happened before. Tech companies and users teamed up. Tens of millions of people who make the internet what it is joined together to defend their freedoms. The free network defended itself. Whatever you call it, the bottom line is clear: from today forward, it will be much harder to mess up the internet.
The really crazy part? We might even win.
Approaching Monday's crucial Senate vote there are now 35 Senators publicly opposing PIPA. Last week there were 5. And it just takes just 41 solid "no" votes to permanently stall PIPA (and SOPA) in the Senate. What seemed like miles away a few weeks ago is now within reach.
But don't trust predictions. The forces behind SOPA & PIPA (mostly movie companies) can make small changes to these bills until they know they have the votes to pass. Members of Congress know SOPA & PIPA are unpopular, but they don't understand why--so they're easily duped by superficial changes. The Senate returns next week, and the next few days are critical.

E agora uma música sobre a SOPA:

human rights: be proactive

.

.

Nobody has the right to stay indifferent to human suffering, wherever in the world it may happen.

Everybody can do something, anything. 
You can make a difference. 
You can lead others to follow. 

So raise your voice where it needs to be heard. 

Sign petitions.  
Don't buy stuff produced under inhuman conditions. 

Keep informed about what's going on in the world, in your own country.

Spread the information!

quotations attributed to M. Luther King:

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

“Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'”
