The Senators who had the unmitigated gall to vote for the COICA bill (Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act) violate our basic fundamental right to free speech. The net is the final frontier for truth and free speech. The cost is great: lots of lies and liars and Soros-funded propagandists -- but so what?

I can see November 2012 from here.

Then again, after listening to an interview on C-span and hearing how nice he thinks Pelosi and Obama are, the good Doctor needs to go back and deliver babies.
“•Patrick J. Leahy — Vermont •Herb Kohl — Wisconsin •Jeff Sessions — Alabama •Dianne Feinstein — California •Orrin G. Hatch — Utah •Russ Feingold — Wisconsin •Chuck Grassley — Iowa •Arlen Specter — Pennsylvania •Jon Kyl — Arizona •Chuck Schumer — New York •Lindsey Graham — South Carolina •Dick Durbin — Illinois •John Cornyn — Texas •Benjamin L. Cardin — Maryland •Tom Coburn — Oklahoma •Sheldon Whitehouse — Rhode Island •Amy Klobuchar — Minnesota •Al Franken — Minnesota •Chris Coons — Delaware”
Each and every one of the above is your enemy if you believe in Freedom. Take note, and ensure their demise ASAP!
John Cornyn of Texas claims to be conservative, but we know better.
•Lindsey Graham — South Carolina One of SC’s biggest mistakes... South Carolina Republicans wiped out the Dems in 2010.... Now onto the RINO in 2014.....
Jon Kyl — Arizona

I wonder if they might see marked increase in communications from constituents (and others)?
John Cornyn, R-TX

Maybe the fat, ethanol-subsidy-sucking farmers of Iowa don't like people who are critical of their ethanol-subsidy-sucking, rent-seeking ways.
