In Penn., the state government shut down a smaller counties public school system, and the teachers are working w/o pay to keep the kids in school! Over 58% of the district is African American and Hispanic!!!
The school board is suing the government and, will win.

Back to SOPA,

there is concerted effort in america to devolve our  system into a completely fascist one  , sadly we are a good ways there , , fascism is a patriotic heavy system of top down capitalism on steroids , with a overpowerful military and attacks on citizens by false flag terrorist attacks and a climate of fear and uncertainty delivered by cinema, mass media , and public education, more than one founder of america warned future generations that attacks  were as likely to come from within than without , this action to attack the internet is part of a continuing plan.....

i have my own definition of what it means to be a loyal american , i glad voyager blacked out the logo yesterday
mu 4\3 went black yesterday , which impressed me greatly, [ thanks for posting that] i was banned from that site 2 years ago ,later rescinded, for my opposition to the ban on any form of speech or photography that had political connotations ,no photography of civil disobediance protests... bp gulf ecological disaster... occupy wall street... political opinions  , i was invited back by streetshooter  who was a mod at the time and offered a apology by amin sabit the owner. which was gracious and appreciated .and thanked them for lifting the ban  .. but i said i would return when the restriction on free speech  was lifted 

they impressed me  greatly yesterday. evil is what happens when good people do nothing

The protesting kinda worked, morning news said that as much as 18 legislators backed out.

That is good news, but is it enough?

Looking to see if something is enough is the worst way to look at it. Any progress is still progress.

I am referring to "votes against it" to kill the bill. It will be voted on, on Sunday. And a DEM. filibuster won't work because the GOP has over 60 reps that can override a filibuster if they all vote "YEA"

I hope some of the 18 are Republacans with some sense.
