SOPA sponsors return: "think of the children"

We need to call them out on how Orwellian this bill is and how they are hiding behind child abuse to monitor the whole Internet and everyone, before they get a chance to ask "why are we against protecting children online?".

Let's frame the issue before they do. Also bring up the point that Rep. Lofgren tried to add an amendment called "Keep Every American's Digital Data for Submission to the Federal Government Without a Warrant Act.". Of course they rejected it.

Orwellian was the same word I was thinking as I read this.

It's too bad the bill's code number isn't H.R. 1984 - it'd be a lot more appropriate.

Maybe Reddit should organize a campaign to send every member of congress a copy of _1984_, and maybe _Fahrenheit 451_. Seems like they could pull it off. On the other hand, it might just give them more ideas.

They could use a new book, they've finished reading Brave New World a while ago.
