SOPA, PIPA

2. SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) is an antiipiracy bill that is currently working it's way through congress.

3. PIPA (Protect IP Act) is the companion bill to SOPA and is also working it's way through congress.

4. Websites such as Reddit,  Google, and Wikipedia fear censorship of their content. These sites share links to thousands of other websites. If the government began to regulate the content of certain sites, these popular websites would pay dearly.

5. Congressman Davis,
                             I am writing in regards to the upcoming SOPA and PIPA bills. These bills can not be passed for the simple reason that we as Americans are given the right of freedom of speech and press.  Passing this bill will cause much more uproar then bringing peace to the issue.  As a concerned citizen I am asking you to consider an alternative proposal.  Instead of passing it, revise it to better affect the individuals that are causing its birth and not so much to innocent citizens that it protects.
