“CISPA is an extreme proposal that allows companies that hold our very sensitive information to share it with any company or government entity they choose, even directly with military agencies like the NSA, without first stripping out personally identifiable information,” Michelle Richardson, legislative counsel at the ACLU’s Washington Legislative Office, said in a statement.

This bill as written does suck.

The government has to take away our last source of uncontrolled information and place for uncensored freedom of personal expression. China is their shining example of internet control for the sheeple. Sooner or later we are going there.

The House has already passed it? Our "leaders", our so called "representatives", thought the passage of this trash was, in any way, consistent with the oath they took? The Bill of Rights has been thoroughly destroyed from within, by the very people who swore to uphold and defend it. The ones TRUSTED to protect and honor it. And some of you still think voting can fix things. Still think that? The ONLY voting that will fix this slimy tentacled monster is voting with a 30 round clip and a bad attitude.
