Doesn't matter how many letters we write - they will ignore them. There is an election coming up very soon. If you are 18 or older then you had better get out and let your voice be heard. If you don't vote, then don't gripe. Do your homework and look at the candidates that are pro-business. Those are the ones that you need to be voting for.

"Pro-business"? You mean like the democrats & republicans who were trying so hard to pass SOPA/PIPA?

If you're not voting for libertarians you're throwing your vote away. The two mainstream parties are both owned completely by special interests. They do don't care what the people think, or how their rules effect them. Look at how many supported the bailouts knowing full well that the people didn't want it.

SOPA? Even in the wake of the entire planet voicing their disgust at the idea, they are insisting they still need to do something similar and just need to find a way to sneak it through. How many times have we seen someone from Congress in the last 48 hours say that SOPA "isn't ready"? Not "It isn't a good idea" but "It isn't ready"! Did no one notice that they picked the day after the black out protest to launch an international manhunt to round up & detain the executives behind megaupload while simultaneously taking down the website? It was to send a message "We will do what we want, and find a way to do it."
