My letter to Representative Barbara Lee on SOPA

Dear Representative Lee,

I want to thank you as your proud constituent for your exemplary voting record. It seems you have always made the decision I hoped you would make, and from what I have read to date, I am confident that you already share my convictions about the misguided bill soon to be put before the House, SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act).

While presumably well-intentioned, this bill has two grave flaws: it grants the power of censorship to the government, and it fails to take into account its dramatic effect on the functioning of the Internet.

I’m very confident that you are fully informed on this issue and intend to vote no; should you be interested in my detailed position on the subject, may I refer you to these two web pages:

Thank you for your attention and your outstanding service to my community.
