| House kills SOPA Act. PIPA next? |
| 2012-01-16 |
| ht to the Perfesser In a surprise move today, Representative Eric Cantor(R-VA) announced that he will stop all action on SOPA, effectively killing the bill. This move was most likely due to several things. One of those things is that SOPA and PIPA met huge online protest against the bills. Another reason would be that the White House threatened to veto the bill if it had passed. However, it isn't quite time yet to celebrate, as PIPA(the Senate's version of SOPA) is still up for consideration. |

| #6 P2- I read on another website that Sheriff Mack (of the Oathkeepers) is contemplating a run for the GOP nomination for this district. If true, I'd back him. He did come to speak to several Tea Party events. Strict constitutionalist. And there's a number of other local people looking at running - generally fiscal conservatives who have made the right sort of Tea Party-ish noises. Steve, I already have a job! I write historical fiction intended to enducate and enchant the general public with the wonders and glories of our American history. (Speaking of which, my Amazon book page is here. Just about all of them are available on Kindle, BTW.) |

| #4 ..well, yeah. You want someone who'll actually represent your district not Hollyweird 1 percenters. Is there time still to register an independent [ie Tea Party] candidate? |
