On April 19, 2013 I wrote my U.S. Representative, Jo Bonner (R) a letter containing questions about CISPA (H.R. 624). I generally expect to recieve a form letter in return for my thoughts, but this time I got something a little better. I read over the bill after it had flown through the House, and while it was still on a few American minds. My questions were based on the following: Page 10 - line 5-24 "Federal Government in accordance with subsection (b)- (A) for cyber security purposes; (B) for the investigation and prosecution of cyber security crimes (C) for the protection of individuals from the danger of death or serious bodily harm and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving such danger of death or serious bodily harm; (D) for the protection of minors from child pornography, any risk of sexual exploitation, and serious threats to the physical safety of minors, including kidnapping and trafficking and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving c...

He seems to think these laws could potentially be the cause of the bombs. Well Lindsey, so far in human history, there have been people who purposely avoid the consequences of breaking the law.

Why don't you come out again and be honest with us. I'll even tell you what to say: "I am voting 'yes' on CISPA." That's it.  You have 24 hours to think about it, then I...

The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (H.R. 624) has many Americans worried. Probably not enough though. Because of our vast freedom and seemingly unlimited rights, this bill could easily be passed over. I hear people asking, "How did they pass something like this ?" Well first, bills are passed constantly because that is what Congress does. They are referred to as "The Legislative Branch". (In the US we learn this before high school) "CISPA", as it is being called is simply a provision that enables our great protectors to protect us against all sorts of evil. Here is what I found to be the crux, or the implied crux of what the bill is trying to say: Page 10 - line 5-24 "Federal Government in accordance with subsection (b)- (A) for cyber security purposes; (B) for the investigation and prosecution of cyber security crimes (C) for the protection of individuals from the danger of death or serious bodily harm and the investigation and p...
