> We thought the battle for our Internet freedoms was over when SOPA failed to pass the House of Representatives earlier this year – now our digital privacy rights are coming under threat once again.
> 
> Recently introduced by House Republican Lamar Smith, the Intellectual Property Attache Act (IPAA) draws extensively from a specific proposal from the final section of the SOPA bill. If passed, IPAA would give the government further authority to regulate our actions online. It would create a czar who would grant the U.S. government the authority to regulate and block websites domestically without due process. It would also influence foreign governments to adopt similar restrictive measures, spreading destruction of our online freedoms across the world.
> 
> If you believe that the Internet should be free and open to all, sign the petition telling Congress that we value our Internet privacies and don't want to see the IPAA bill take those away. Let's show Congress that we will remain vigilant whenever our online rights are threatened!

> SEE THE PETITION
