There's been a conspicuous absence of cable news coverage of the pending Internet censorship bills.  (Likely a function of the media conglomerates' general support for the legislation.)

Tonight Keith Olbermann's going to break the silence by hosting Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) to talk about his expected filibuster of the the PROTECT IP Act.  

He's expected to be on at about 8:45 Eastern Time, on Current TV.  

Please check it out -- both to learn more about this important issue, and because we want to encourage Olbermann to lead the charge on this issue.

Please support Senator Wyden and help push this viral by sharing StopCensorship.org with your friends. 

**********************************

Over 25,000 members of the Daily Kos community have emailed their senators asking them to oppose the so-called Protect IP Act. We have proof these emails are working.

Late last night, the industries pushing the bill said they would "come forward with language that will address some of the legitimate concerns" that online communities like Daily Kos have about the bill.

Our concerns are that Protect IP will destroy the social web and take us down along with it. Any changes the entertainment industry suggests probably won't make a difference, so the bill should be scrapped and we should start over next year. Still, their offer shows they are afraid our pressure will defeat the bill.

Please, send an email to your senators and tell them to oppose Protect IP. We are gaining ground in this fight.

Thanks,
