Congressman/Senator ********,
Please vote against the SOPA/PIPA Bill(s) when and if they come to vote. I respect copyright laws and the reasons behind them, being an intellectual property owner myself. I however believe and know that this Bill will do more harm than benefit to the United States and it’s interests. I on a daily basis work with the internet as a Web Developer professionally and I know that the tools that are being proposed to help fight piracy are only going to hurt those who are not at fault, all the while allowing the ones responsible to continue with their piracy. Additionally small businesses, such as my own, will easily fall prey to the claims of larger entities and pass from existence because they are not allotted the freedom to present their ideas. The internet as we know it, is as the United Nations states, a civil liberty and giving way for this Bill to be passed would allow for an abuse of the law system unseen of before. I humbly ask that you represent me and the rest of your constituents with honor and acknowledgement of our will. We, the people, ask you to decide carefully when you once again approach the subject of SOPA/PIPA and any bills that would threaten the existence of the internet as we know it and the freedoms that we hold dear. Thank you.
Respectfully,
Rev. Alfonso E Martinez, III
