We did it!

Fist of PowerYou took down your sites. You overwhelmed your elected officials with messages of opposition. Some of you even took to the streets. And, by golly, you did it: SOPA and PIPA are starting to lose support on Capitol Hill. Whereas last week only 5 lawmakers were in opposition, after today’s actions, that number has swelled to an impressive 35 opposing. And the thing only needs 41 “no” votes to effectively be stalled.

So does this mean we can relax, that we can declare “Mission accomplished” ? Not on your life. The powers of evil behind will not rest until their goals are achieved. There is still so much that can happen between now and January 24, when voting is set to begin on these bills. Bribes can be circulated. Lawmakers can sneak loopholes and other tools in at the 11th hour. And even if SOPA and PIPA go down, you know they’ll be back with something else. And it might even seem reasonable. But, believe you me, it isn’t. (It’s a trap!). We must remain ever vigilant, and continue to educate and inform our elected officials. Please keep on your Congress critters’ backs — give them something to think about come voting day.

But not right this minute. Take a few minutes and give yourself a hearty pat on the back. Go hoist up an icy cold beer (or any other beverage of choice). You — we — made history today.

I’d like to take this opportunity to personally thank our listeners and website viewers for answering the call and for putting up with a little website downtime. You guys all rock. Seriously.
