U.S. Citizens - Oppose this Bill!

From EFF.org - "The U.S. House of Representatives is currently considering H.R. 1981, a bill that would order all of our online service providers to keep new logs about our online activities, logs to help the government identify the web sites we visit and the content we post online. This sweeping new "mandatory data retention" proposal treats every Internet user like a potential criminal and represents a clear and present danger to the online free speech and privacy rights of millions of innocent Americans."

Let's face it America.  Big Content and the U.S. government are doing whatever they can to spy on us.  They are looking for anyway possible to put the little privacy we have into an interrogation room.  As a Nation of Independent free thinkers, tinkerers, designers, developers and enthusiasts it is of the utmost importance that we band together and keep a gleaming "Sauron's eye" on the information hungry entities wanting to consume and record every action we make.  Join in the fight with EFF.org and other people across the U.S. and strike down this bill.

A good place to start is by following this link, reading the Action request from the EFF, and shooting the legislature down.
