It seems only fair that I should become involved with all my State and Federal representitives on the issues of copyright protection, the SOPA and the PIPA. Since Chris Murphy keeps sending me email, I will start with him.

The above link shows, that Murphy does not publically support or oppose the stupid copyright protection laws. However he does vote 91.66% of the time with his party, which does support myriad stupid laws, including SOPA and PIPA, and accepted significant donations from the industries attempting to buy those laws from him.

The link above shows who contributes to his campaigns, and other good information to get to know the man. I have not ever met him, but it seems cowardly to me that he does not openly proclaim his support or his opposition to the current issues like the SOPA and PIPA laws he will have to vote on some day.
I left him short email telling him of my efforts to oppose him personally because of his tacit support of the copyright laws because of my experience at the wrong end of existing laws. Funny how I spent more time proving I was his constituent than writing the email. I needed the zip plus 4 because my district has been re-drawn and most Torrington is now in a different district. But Murphy is my congressman.
On to the Senate.
