Petition
To Members of the U.S. House of Representatives
We, the undersigned, hereby demand that members of the House defeat HR 3261, legislation that will give government the power to censor the Internet.
“Nobody likes Internet piracy, but this legislation is going to create a regime of Internet censorship in the name of protecting copyright. This will particularly endanger social networking sites, search engines, and any website that allows users to upload content of being shut down. Why would anyone want to give government the power to shut down websites?
“This bill will be the end of social networking all together and it must be defeated. Censorship is not the solution to Internet piracy.” — ALG President Bill Wilson.

Owls in Danger
The Obama administration is moving forward with plans at this moment to choose winners and losers amongst America’s wildlife. Specifically, the Federal Government has chosen to side with the Spotted Owl and against the Barred Owl. The government will engage in a systematic killing of Barred Owls.
If this troubles you, then please sign the petition on the right to make your voice heard and to stop the Federal Government from picking winners and losers in nature! Sign the petition on the right, or read more about it at SavetheBarredOwl.com/news.
Sign the Petition
We, the undersigned, call on Congress to defund all actions pertaining to the killing of the Barred Owl. It is not up to the Federal Government to decide who wins and loses in nature, it is up to the animals themselves. The Federal Government has intervened on the Spotted Owl’s behalf before- and it didn’t work then either, at the cost of tens of thousands of timber jobs. Ironically, the Federal Government destroyed the very habitat that the Spotted Owl depends upon to live. Now their are on sights on the Barred Owl.
So give a hoot, and don’t let them shoot!
