I don’t mean to be mean, but you know you’ve done something right when Senators’ websites are crashing. This means THE VOTERS CARE, (and that maybe our nation’s leaders should get better hosting.) But here’s the deal, many of us have learned an important lesson: if you don’t take a stand then there’s some lobbyist somewhere that’ll be glad to do it for you. That’s not to say all lobbyists are bad and out to get you, but when they’re shaking hands in DC to jack with our Internet, well then there’s a problem.

So we stood up, and we Tweeted and we blogged, and many of you probably spoke your piece thinking, “This is pretty easy compared to Syria.” And it is.

We’ve got it pretty good in America, and our efforts will make it even better. SOPA has been shelved and PIPA has lost a lot of friends, and we can only hope that those who make these deals know that we’re watching…and we will do something about it.

Rock on.
