I've found a main one with 200 something members. Organizing the members who are in the event to cross into the group as well as the other way around. Hopefully, with an extra month, we can form a large enough group to stop the bill.

Shadow, America is the land of the free. We aren't gonna get used to it. If the bill is passed, I'm assuming mass rioting will occur all throughout the US. Millions of jobs will be lost, and since the US is already in a bad economic spot, people won't be so happy/

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. " Straight from the Deceleration of Independence, and I think that, if this bill is passed, the government will have become destructive to it's own ends.

Only SOPA has been postponed, PIPA is still active and the vote's on January 4th. But with my posts on CNN and MSNBC, I should be able to get the word out.
