SOPA is a bill to create a nation-wide Internet Black List. Ostensibly meant to fight piracy, it will allow the government to create procedures for DNS blocking, which basically keeps a web site from showing up on the Internet.
Free speech is not only a part of the Bill of Rights, but it is one of the strongest political tools of the people. It does not just safe guard democracy–it is democracy.
