And they'll have the right to >deny it! >The forces that lined up in support of SOPA -- Hollywood, the recording >industry, and other huge corporations -- are urging the Court to rule against >consumers. >So we're going to fight back -- just like during the SOPA fight -- by using >our websites to sound the alarm. Please click here to sign up to take part! >Here's a screenshot of what we're talking about: >Remarkably few people have even heard about this case, and it's time for us to >change that. >Win or lose at the Supreme Court, we expect to have a legislative fight about >this issue on our hands by January, and we need to push people to contact >their members of Congress before Big Business gets them to side against us. >So we've built a variety of ribbons and ball-and-chain icons that you can put >on your site on Monday to help make sure the whole world knows about this >horrendous case. >You can view them all here, and sign up to use your site for activism on >Monday -- we really need your help. >Participation from a few hundred sites -- or even a few dozen -- is almost >certain to get the media's attention as they cover the Supreme Court hearing. >Everybody is welcome to join in the day of action, but your friends who sell >things online will probably be especially interested. >Whether they use Craigslist, Ebay, Etsy, or just a personal site or a blog, >they'll want to know that their right to keep selling could be in grave >jeopardy. >Will you forward them this email and/or use these links to make sure they know >about this lawsuit? > If you're already on Facebook, click here to share with your friends > If you're already on Twitter, click here to tweet about the campaign. >Thanks for your continuing help! >-Demand Progress >Paid for by Demand Progress (DemandProgress.org) and not authorized by any >candidate or candidate's committee.
