It's only recently that I realized I've become an activist. It started out with one petition against SOPA, the death knell for internet freedom, and then rapidly evolved into a practice of keeping an eye out for corporate abuse, like a determined watchdog.

I tell you this because lately, a new bill has been making its way up through Congress, called CISPA. This is essentially the very same bill that we fought earlier, but under a different name, and with different wording. And just like SOPA, the passage of this bill could ruin freedom on the internet for good.

What can you do? You can follow these two links and sign every one of these petitions. If you've stumbled on this journal, don't hesitate, just do it! It won't take you but five minutes, total! Add your voices to these petitions and help create a movement that will flatten the efforts of the entertainment industry, and remind Congress that they serve the people, not corporate interests!

Please do it. All of them. And don't just stop there: share it with all of your friends on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, and repost a journal like this on your own DeviantArt pages. I cannot stress how powerful you become if you help to spread this message. Ever marvel at how quickly and easily spam and chain letters spread? Why not apply that to something worthwhile, like the future of the internet itself?

Above all, please, just don't click away from here and do nothing.
