Hello Senator.  It is very evident to me that if your writing this that 
you are completely
of the content of this bill.  This bill is a disgusting land grab by one 
of the least deserving
industries in the US, the "intellectual property trade".  This industry 
is a den of thieves and
do not deserve any further protections.  They sue the girl scouts for 
singing Happy Birthday
and attack libraries and education providers left and right.  
Additionally they rape artists
which is why artist after artist from Elvis Costello to Prince and the 
Beatles have done
everything they could to get away from them.  And then they sue 14 year 
olds for
"piracy" while debasing women and glorifying violence.  Now they want to 
put Google
out of business and push them out of New York, and THAT is what this 
bill is about.

Google and companies like it are the future of our economy.  Time Warner 
is a itty bitty nothing
that Google and can eat for lunch, and yet YOUR BILL has the tail 
wagging the dog and
will destroy our economy, aside from it being morally repugnant.

Vote for this and you make many enemies of your constituency.

The bill MUST BE SCRAPPED.

On nonsense.  The record companies and movie industry has paid you and 
"Chuck"
Schumer a huge sum of money for this bill, and I consider that a bribe.
