I would like a little more information on this before I click on the link. Perhaps a short paragraph? I don't do blind links.

The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA / H.R.3261) and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA / S.968) are a foothold for state and corporate censorship and a death knell for the free internet, complete with provisions for the Great Firewall of America and draconian measures to punish even the most trivial infringement on corporate copyright.

This is a way to generate a local flyer for your district, listing the names and contact information of your legislators and the phone numbers of these bills' supporters. The purpose is to act locally and inform the people in your area what to do to prevent this legislation.
