I can't figure out what the f*ck is going on with that website.

I'm actually surprised that mine is opposed to it.

Well, not so much surprised that he's opposed to SOPA in particular, but that he's taking a stand against or for anything generally.

/He's usually a predictable party-line vote.

make me some tea: Wendy's Chili: I can't figure out what the f*ck is going on with that website.

What's to figure out? There's a list of Congressman on the left who say they support SOPA, and a list of them on the right who've said they won't. If you click on their picture it shows how much entertainment and tech money was donated to their campaigns.

Example: find Harry Reid and check out the bag of loot he got.

I guess it just loads wrong in my browser because all I see is a hot mess and command buttons that don't do anything when you click on the.

Who stands to benefit from SOPA? Is it only the RIAA and MPAA?

How come big business isn't defending this?

Wow. One of my two Senators opposes it, and the other one and my Representative are not listed on either side. This could be a golden age for Kansas.

I don't see Gabby Giffords on there. But Moran is. Is it safe to say Moran got Gifford's brain?

Guidette Frankentits: Who stands to benefit from SOPA? Is it only the RIAA and MPAA?

Any company with intellectual property stands to potentially benefit from this... As an example, some have pointed to "big pharma" as being one of the beneficiaries, which seems weird when you're talking about online piracy and copyright. The argument is that they can use SOPA to protect against counterfeit drug manufacturers who sell "Biagra" and "Lipitur" online.

Both of my senators are on the wrong side of this one.

SOPA is an abomination.

The presence of Sens. Blumenthal and Lieberman on that list makes me angry.

I am genuinely curious how many of those have chosen their positions purely out of knowledge of the issue and purpose of the bill, or because a lobbyist/donor/etc told them what their preferred course of action might be.
Whether for or against, don't care. I want to know how many of our congress critters can comprehend.

I'm disappointed to see Franken supporting this crap.

Serious Black: Wow. One of my two Senators opposes it, and the other one and my Representative are not listed on either side. This could be a golden age for Kansas.

Your state's opposed to it because they think that anything relating to carrying information over wires is the Devil's work.

Hilarity_N_Sues: qorkfiend: Both of my senators are on the wrong side of this one.

Mine too, sadly.

Based on profiles, I think we have the same senators ^_^

They could think it's because the bill will bring Hitler back to life, bestow upon him immortality, and install him as Supreme Dictator-for-Life, and I would be okay with it.

GAT_00: Goddamn that's a crazy list. Both of my Senators are for it, but so are Boxer, Feinstein, and Franken who should really all know better.

Also strange to see Reid for it but Pelosi against it.

Sen. Boxer has received 1.3m in the past three years from the relating industries. No idea why she would be in a co-sponsor of this bill.

Sen. Reid only one million. He needs to try harder.

I've often noticed that people who oppose SOPA are infavor of net-neturality. It's like they don't really understand the underlying business models that make these things possible. and profitable.

Very disappointed in Franken.

Very sad to see Franken on the supporters list. I thought better of him.

Also very sad to see Hagan on the supporters list, because I voted for her. I've had buyers remorse over that for a while, but she was still (I suppose) better than the alternative.

I'm kinda sad they couldn't find a way to MAKE this a partisan issue. The aisle crossing on this might actually get it passed.

DeltaPunch: I've never seen an issue with so much unity in the real world (and on Fark) on one side, and simultaneously so many congress persons on the other side.

Looks like Dick Durbin is getting another email from me because I know it changes his mind. That's why we have term limits and solely publicly funded elections.

But I figure if enough people flood their Congressperson's inbox with calls and letters and emails, maybe eventually they'll change their mind.

Contact Dick Durbin (new window)

Saners: Sen. Boxer has received 1.3m in the past three years from the relating industries. No idea why she would be in a co-sponsor of this bill.

She's a Senator from California, which has 90% of the related industries... It's not really corruption if they actually are your constituents.

CravenMorehead: I'm disappointed to see Franken supporting this crap.

He doesn't want people torrenting Stuart Saves His Family.

Nice to see that at least one of my Senators, Maria Cantwell is against it.

So...what of Patty Murray? Is she just going to sit this one out?

A perfectly noble and just way to catch people who are acting dangerously.

I'm not sure why broad bipartisan support surprises people. This is a case of a wealthy special interest screwing over the public at large. That is typically the sort of thing both parties agree on.

Your shiat's jacked. Try another browser?

It sucks on Chrome too. There's a script running for reasons I cannot figure out.

DrippinBalls: saxby chambliss - one of the most worthless pieces of dogsh*t know to man. Stupid, useless, worthless and bought.



What's wrong with being saxby?

Both California senators are for it. Have they not heard of Silicon Valley?

I was pretty happy until I had to start scrolling to see all of the people for SOPA.

In addition to Hollywood, they've likely heard from the San Fernando Valley... not that they'd admit it.
