“The power under the constitution will always be in the people. It is entrusted for certain defined purposes, and for a certain limited period, to representatives of their own choosing; and whenever it is executed contrary to their interest, or not agreeable to their wishes, their servants can and undoubtedly will, be recalled.”

~ George Washington (1787)

CISPA replaces SOPA

Earlier this year, we had to look at the so-called "Stop On-line Piracy Act" (SOPA), which directly threatened the freedom of the INTERNET.  Now, new legislation, offered to support cybersecurity, appears to be even more invasive and controlling than SOPA. 

This new legislation, Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), is being supported by 100 House members.  I can appreciate the need for cybersecurity, but not if the cure is worse than the disease.

Watch it closely, and contact your Congressional delegations on your concerns.
