SOPA and PROTECT IP dialogue with members of Congress resulted from certain NDAA communications now posted at this location. Pertinent excerpts are below:

• Nevertheless what concerns thinking Americans is well stated in the closing paragraphs of an International Business Times article posted this date at their web site. The piece addresses both NDAA and SOPA:
• "The question, in short, everyone is asking is if these proposed laws come into effect, who decides on the parameters? What constitutes piracy? What constitutes terrorism? What constituted support of terrorism? The problem is that both proposed laws provide lawmakers and authorities with unhealthy amounts of power to make those decisions, potentially leaving American citizens at the mercy of military authorities. Does 'anti-government' also mean 'anti-American'? If so, then there are tough times ahead for America and Americans."
• We all know that attorneys argue points of law for livelihood and that Republicans and Democrats argue points of new legislation for political advantage, nonetheless legislation typically is interpreted by the judiciary apart from military law. Both NDAA and SOPA contain enough ambiguity to validate and underscore all of the IBT concerns expressed above—and more.

Below are emails from members of Congress providing information about SOPA & PROTECT IP 2011 (both legislation-in-process):
Here is 12/22/2011 response from Senator Bill Nelson regarding PROTECT IP & SOPA.
Here is 12/23/2011 response from Congressman Jeff Miller regarding PROTECT IP.
Here is 02/23/2012 response from Congressman Jeff Miller regarding SOPA & PIPA.
Here is 02/02/2012 response from Senator Bill Nelson regarding PROTECT IP & SOPA.
Here is 02/03/2012 response from Senator Marco Rubio regarding PROTECT IP & SOPA.

Here is BBC news reporting Senator Rubio withdrawing support for hurried SOPA & PIPA piracy legislation (BBC news 1/19/2012). Perhaps someday members of Congress consistently will listen to those more informed than familiar vested interests and to those most detrimentally affected by so many ill-conceived legislative efforts. Popular outcry most often is ignored:
(IE: NAFTA, PATRIOT Act, AUMF, extraordinary rendition and related human rights violations, and most recently NDAA 2012).

Here are some Ron Paul posted real reasons for SOPA/PIPA—so keep on threatening the self-serving corruption.
