User blog:Sacorguy79/Regarding the Bills: SOPA and PIPA

Many of you are concerned of the the recent bills to be possibly passed on by the government to cause total Internet Censorship, which will cause shutdowns of everything. Well, there is in fact support besides us. Allow me to explain:

A majority of the Senate of the US was formerly prepared to pass on these bills. But upon a reconsider decision, a former cosponsor Republican named Marco Rubio suggested a reconsider of these bills, considering the major negative feedback from us internet users: http://mashable.com/2012/01/18/pipa-sopa-abandon-bill/

He's not the only one. A handful of other (13, to be precise) Senators have rejected the idea and are in current opposition: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2012/01/pipa-support-collapses-with-13-new-opponents-in-senate.ars

At this point, it appears that there is a chance the interwebz shall still exist, what with the opposition not only coming from us, but from the Senate. All I'm asking is that everyone stay calm at this point and hope/pray for the best.

OK fine:
