Success! A new protest has arrived! http://www.hackersandfounders.com/events/48317262/?eventId=4...

PIPA-supporting Senators, meet the job-creators and innovators of California.

I'm confused, why is that protest at Joseph Ailoto Plaza instead of in front of Sen. Feinstein's office? http://g.co/maps/r8s85

Perhaps because the chosen location is in front of City Hall and usually has media trucks nearby?

We want to obey city ordinance and not block any sidewalks or streets and there aren't any decent sized parks close to Feinstein's offices.

There's a link to that event slowly drifting down the new page....

DC Tech will be there: http://www.meetup.com/DC-Tech-Meetup/events/48101142/

This is awesome.

Am I the only one that fears a big corp from using SOPA to kick my little website off the web by them simply pasting a bit of their documentation in my forum? I can imagine the copyright trolls asking for "protection money" so that bad material doesn't show up on my site. The lack of due process is what scares me the most about this whole thing.

I ask since it's one side that I don't see getting much discussion.

Looking forward to bringing my body, taking up some space and voicing my concerns to the Senators.

Tell me good Sir... what does democracy look like?

Media will be there, so bring your A game.

Yes, there is already media interest brewing.

Anybody else going from Palo Alto?

Right now, I'll be taking the Caltrain. If the are more people, perhaps we could get a carpool together.

If not, is there anybody else also planning on taking the Caltrain? Feel free to e-mail me (address within profile) if you would be interested in going together.
