The government wants to be able to create a list of banned websites in the US.
If you need any more explanation than that, good luck.

I just got this email..
Quote:
We just found out that they're bringing back the Internet blacklist bill for a vote on Thursday -- less than a week from now! We've spent the week meeting people in DC and I can tell you our petition is definitely making a difference. This bill was supposed to pass without objection, but now even Politico is calling it "hotly debated" -- all thanks to you.
The first vote will be by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Do you have any friends in California, Vermont, Wisconsin, New York, Minnesota, or Illinois who haven't signed the petition yet? Their senators will be the key votes in deciding whether this bill passes. Can you forward them this email and ask them to sign on at:
http://act.demandprogress.org/go/11?akid=20.124875.-ALDia&t=2
Remember, this bill--in blatant violation of the Constitution--would let the Attorney General create a blacklist of websites that every American ISP would be required to block. Wikileaks, YouTube, and others are all at risk. Human rights advocates, constitutional law experts, and the people who invented the Internet have all spoken out against this bill -- but some of the most powerful industries in the country are demanding that Congress rush it through. The music industry is even having all of their employees call Congress to pose as citizens in support of the bill.
We need to fight back -- can you ask any friends you know to sign on at:
http://act.demandprogress.org/go/11?akid=20.124875.-ALDia&t=4
Keep on fighting,

have you even read the bill? It allows the government to shut down websites who sell conterfiet items to the public.. And after a website is deemed as selling counterfiet the owner has 90 days for judicial review to see if its fair. The government shuts down websites all the time for selling illegal items.

Maybe I want a 10 dollar rolex. Besides I don't need the government to protect me or make new laws to keep me safe. It all has to start somewhere and then once in place it is not hard to add to the list.

You don't have to smoke weed but not paying taxes usually doesn't work out to well. I don't know, it is just another layer of government bureaucracy that will be paid for by our taxes and give out a few more government jobs.
I just don't like the idea... that is all.
