a concerned citizen, noticing and observing what it taking place, and it honest to god scares me. I think America is about the perfect balance of the freedom to and the freedom from. Congress is tampering with this delicate balance and it's a slippery slope.

Sincerely, a concerned citizen.

Please vote no on SOPA! I am a concerned citizen, I threatened that this bill could even reach the process of which it could be passed. I am frightened that my personal freedoms are being whittled away little by little and soon enough there will be none left to give. I don't want to one day wake up and come to the realization that I have lost my sense of American pride and what it stands for. I am here, a concerned citizen,
