I thought this was a great way to show our disapproval of the PROTECT IP 
Act. This is really awful legislation that threatens what we've come to 
expect of the Internet.

William,

The Senate is threatening to pass its version of the Internet censorship 
bill -- the PROTECT IP Act -- when it returns from winter break later 
this month.  Will you tweet at Senate leadership to ask them to kill the 
legislation?  Just click here:

Millions of Americans have emailed their own senators to ask them to 
oppose the legislation -- which is a big part of why we've been able to 
hold the bill up this long. (For more info about the bill, you can click 
here <http://act.demandprogress.org/go/399?akid=1121.1645451.RVmxoS&t=2>.)

But some members of the Senate are more powerful than others, and we 
need to let Senate leadership -- Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, and Mitch 
McConnell -- know how upset we are that this legislation is on their 
agenda.  They have the power to block a vote from happening.

*We need to make them understand that hundreds of thousands of us are 
paying attention and will be looking to this issue when we decide whom 
to vote for in this year's elections. *

Normally we'd ask you to email them, but Senate offices block emails 
from people with out-of-state zip codes, so we're asking you to tweet at 
them instead.

*You can use this link to generate a tweet to those three Senators -- 
you can use the language we've included, or modify it:*

We have another tough couple of weeks in front of us, and appreciate 
your continued work on this issue.  To win this fight we're going to 
need stay active to stick together.
