Listen to Teddy - Stop SOPA and PIPA
Posted on February 23, 2012 in Teddy Roosevelt
DonkeyHotey posted a photo: "...to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics, is the first task of the statesmanship of the day." - Theodore Roosevelt Do you want to share a relevant quote? Please do so in comments below. THE WEB GOES ON STRIKE! Read All About It! NOTE: After experiencing the day of protest about SOPA/PIP it is clear that the action could better be called a Web Blackout rather than a Strike. TAKE ACTION! Google has a form. More complete quote : Political parties exist to secure responsible government and to execute the will of the people. From these great tasks both of the old parties have turned aside. Instead of instruments to promote the general welfare they have become the tools of corrupt interests, which use them impartially to serve their selfish purposes. Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics, is the first task of the statesmanship of the day. The source image for this caricature was adapted from a black and white image available at the Library of Congress website.
