It's Sort of Like Wordless Wednesday, Only Not!

Supporting anti-SOPA with a grayout!

There's this internet blackout thing going on today. You heard about it? I'm not intentionally being flippant about the opposition regarding SOPA and Pipa -- honest.

In fact, I signed Google's petition and not because I'm all that AND a bag of chips on the internet or anything.

However, after nearly a decade of clicking the "publish" button (sounds way cooler than 9 years, right?) you probably already know: I.M.A. Dork.

Still, words like censorship and boycott make me itch.

So, taking a cue from Miss Zoot (because, she's pretty AND smart) I am going to visit my favorite blogs AND tell my online friends just how glad I am that they decided to click the "publish" button, today.

Unless, their blog is all blacked-out or until the contractor who's supposed to give us an estimate on a new-ish roof gets here (he's late) then I'll just tell them tomorrow.

Because, words really do matter and they ARE SO my blogging friends (DAMMIT!)

I totally agree. I contacted Congress, shared a stop SOPA video on FB & Twitter, etc. But the whole boycott/blackout thing seems useless to me. Make people aware and contact your elected officials, THEN celebrate the freedom we DO have today. :-)

I contacted my Senator asking him to oppose the measure. I know that I alone didn't have a huge effect, but he did pull his sponsorship of the PIPA bill. Booyah!

Welcome! Some Caw-fee? Tea? Chocolate?

My name is Liz and I have been blogging at This Full House of mismatched socks and crunchy feet since 2003. This is where I enjoy writing about the trials and tribulations of raising 3 teens, 1 tween and killer dust bunnies. I also manage a shopping/lifestyle blog where I share information on products and services that perhaps help make life for families (like mine) a little easier. Feel free to stay a while, but mind the killer dust bunnies -- THEY BITE!!!
