Citizens Unite To Engage Congress
 |
| "G is for Google" |
The protests against SOPA / PIPA was a milestone in the convergence of technology and our democratic process. Top technology corporations joined forces with internet users resulting in a massive mobilization that effectively killed the bills in almost no time at all. In an age where approval of congress is at an all time low and cynicism towards government widespread, after last Wednesday’s protest, there should be no question that when people engage the system with social media, they can get results.
American technology corporations like Google, Yahoo, eBay, Microsoft, AOL, PayPal and others didn’t want new laws compelling them to root out foreign companies violating copyrights. Many individual internet users didn’t trust the government control proposed by the legislation. These interests converged resulting in a historic mobilization utilizing 1st Amendment rights. This convergence of people enjoyed the rights of association, freedom of speech, petitioning the government and even, if need be, prayer!
Citizens Should Unite
The Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission ruling has a clear impact in this year’s election process. The decision repealed laws prohibiting any corporation whatever, or any labor organization, to make a contribution or expenditure 30 days before a federal primary election*. This paved the way for wealthy individuals and or corporations to now band millions of dollars together with what is loosely known as a super PAC. The super PAC will assume a nice sounding name then flood media markets in the days prior to a primary with ads that support or oppose a candidate.
Considering the glaring lack of transparency behind the mounds of special interest political cash, most people are leery of super PACs dominating media during elections - myself included.

| Google Exercising Its Constitutional Right To Speak |
The US Supreme Court was keenly aware of the convergence of technologies in the Citizens United ruling. They said,
Rapid changes in technology—and the creative dynamic inherent in the concept of free expression—counsel against upholding a law that restricts political speech in certain media or by certain speakers. . . . Today, 30-second television ads may be the most effective way to convey a political message. . . . Soon, however, it may be that Internet sources, such as blogs and social networking Web sites, will provide citizens with significant information about political candidates and issues. Yet, §441b** would seem to ban a blog post expressly advocating the election or defeat of a candidate if that blog were created with corporate funds. The First Amendment does not permit Congress to make these categorical distinctions based on the corporate identity of the speaker and the content of the political speech. (Opinion of the Court p 49.)
Imagine if SOPA, PIPA or some even new legislation proposed censorship that, “would seem to ban a blog post expressly advocating the election or defeat of a candidate if that blog were created with corporate funds”? Many people opposed SOPA and PIPA for the simple reason they don’t want more government regulation of the internet.
Let's think long and hard before we take the rights away from groups engaged in free enterprise with an amendment to the US Constitution that will allow the regulation of corporate speech on the internet.

El vocalista de Soundgarden echa mierda sobre Kanye West
Kanye West llegó hasta 45 minutos tarde al Big Day Out tour el sábado en el Gold Coast, Australia (Sacado de news.com.au)
La multitud irrumpió en cantos de "pendejadas / insultos" en numerosas veces como ellos esperaban, el boletín de Gold Coast informa.
La superestrella de hip-hop estadounidense Kanye West logró compensar el tiempo perdido con una
representación teatral aumentada por su cuerpo de bailarinas, pero la reunión de Soundgarden no perdonó.
El vocalista Chris Cornell no estaba impresionado cuando una prueba de sonido de West empezó a sonar cuando su grupo estaba tocando y los fans empezaron a abuchear.
"Parece que estén tocando niños allí, niños retradados, retrasados que se mantienen atrás (No sé muy bien lo que siginifica Held Back). No hay otra palabra para él,"Cornell dijo a la multitud.

The crowd broke into chants of “bullshit” numerous times as they waited, the Gold Coast Bulletin reports.
American hip hop superstar Kanye West managed to make up for lost time with a theatrical
performance augmented by his ballerina corps, but he may find the reunited Soundgarden less forgiving.
Frontman Chris Cornell wasn’t impressed when a sound check of West’s upcoming set at the neighbouring main stage could be heard in between Soundgarden songs and the rock band’s fans started booing.
“Sounds like there’s children playing music there, retarded children, retarded as in held back. There’s no other word for it,” Cornell told the crowd.
