So Sen. Vitter responded to my Blanket email to Congress (From here on referred to as the den of liars and thieves) concerning SOPA. Vitty is probably my least favorite local politician. I hate a hypocrite, and his wife may have forgiven him but I am tired of these jokers who can’t keep their wicks dry. That being said I must admit he is tho only one who has responded. He has withdrawn his support for the Protect IP Act, and says SOPA needs tweaking. I am all for protecting intelectual property, there are laws that already protect it. the biggest part of the problem is enforcement of our laws outside of this country. The broad powers that the government wants to install can be used for evil. I certainly don’t trust those who reside in the Den of Liars and thieves with such a broad law that can certainly be abused. Vitty Cent get’s one point for responding but not much else.

Dear Mr. Wood,
Thank you for contacting me in opposition to the Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act (PROTECT IP). I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue, and I agree with you.
As you may know, this bill is still being negotiated and amended in the United States Senate. You will be pleased to know that I recently withdrew my endorsement of the Protect IP Act. While I have been pushing hard for changes regarding internet freedom and national security, I feel that these concerns have not been fully addressed in this bill. I believe that pushing the bill forward in its current form will only jeopardize the delicate balance of public and private interests that our copyright and patent laws were intended to protect. Rest assured I will keep your thoughts in mind as the Senate considers this legislation.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about other issues important to you.
