Research Hindered

Most of the best research sites on the Internet are down for the next 24 to 48 hours in protest of SOPA & PIPA. If you are reading this and don't know what I'm talking about, just go to www.wikipedia.com or craigslist.org. You will be able to find all the info you could possibly need as well as links that refer you to your local senate and congress representatives. Please write, fax or email them in order to stop this bill from passing. It will give the government to completely shut down web sites (at their discretion) for whatever they happen to believe is copyright infringement. The wording of the bill is quite vague in terms of what they can and can't stop. Our favorite sites like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Wikipedia and many others are in danger of being lost to us if this passes.
