Dear [Congressman],
I urge you to vote no on PIPA. As a developing artist who relies upon the freedom and creativity of the Internet to prosper, I cannot emphasize enough the damaging effect this bill would have upon myself and others of my profession.
We have to believe that censorship and unilateralism is not the best that America can do in fighting Internet piracy. If silencing the freedom of speech is truly the only way to protect industry, then haven’t we lost something integral to who we are as a nation?
This is a country of dreamers who make their visions concrete. Please vote no on S.968, in hopes that we, united, can find another way to protect the interests of businesspeople; one which does not sacrifice the liberties of those whose creative work serves as the inspiration to continue striving higher.
Sincerely,
David Somerville
