CISPA dead-for now

From Campaign For Liberty:

Thanks to your efforts and those of thousands of liberty activists across the country, by a vote of 52-46, the Senate defeated Senator Lieberman's Cybersecurity Act of 2012 - for now.

Unfortunately, bad legislation frequently shares a trait with Hollywood movie villain, Freddy Krueger.

No matter how many times you kill it, it just keeps coming back.

As the statists continue to try and centralize control over the internet, you and I can guarantee this legislation will rear its ugly head again in September.

After using this August recess to regroup and refocus their attack, there is a real threat Harry Reid and his cronies will have the votes to shove this bill down our throats.

While today's victory will have defeated the so-called Cybersecurity Act momentarily, it's absolutely vital the liberty movement remain vigilant.

But for now, thank you for taking action to defeat this legislation.

In Liberty,

Matt Hawes
Vice President

P.S. Thanks to your efforts and those of thousands of liberty activists across the country, today we defeated Lieberman's Cybersecurity Act of 2012 - for now.

Unfortunately, you and I can guarantee this legislation will once again rear its ugly head in September.


The price for liberty is eternal vigilance and so we will be watching and see if they come up with some liberty killing monstrosity and if they do we will defeat it. It's that simple.
