Summit Court, Suite 103

Rep. Hayworth,

I am writing today to discuss the issue of censorship, which I see as an imposition of socialism on our capitalism society. Specifically, I am alarmed by SOPA, the Internet censorship bill. This bill will destroy the innovation that is at the heart of American exceptionalism, and it will destroy American jobs.

The bill aims to drastically curb Americans' freedom to use the Internet. It will apply DNS censoring, the same type of censorship that is used in China, Iran and Syria to curtail the personal freedoms of the people in those countries. American is not a fascist state like those countries are, we should not be subject to the same government control over our lives.

The result of this horrible censorship bill will be that many of the most successful and popular websites will be shut down, or they will move overseas and be blocked for Americans. This is an egregious overstepping of governmental boundaries, akin to the acts of totalitarian steps. It is appalling that these internet protection bills could even come under consideration by Congress, and an indication of business corruption in the system.

I ask that you stand up in favor of American exceptionalism, the First Amendment and free market capitalism. Vote no on SOPA, and tell your fellow House members on both sides of the aisle to vote no on SOPA as well.

Sincerely,

Joe Smith,

Dear Senator Schumer,

I am deeply concerned about the excesses of capitalism in our society. I would like you to take action to curtail Wall Street abuses that weaken our economy at the cost of hard-working citizens such as myself. My brother has been unemployed for two years. He is not a moocher -- he works odd jobs and takes care of our ailing grandmother. But the economy in upstate New York has suffered a lot as the result of the financial meltdown. While the bankers on Wall Street continue to get richer and richer, ordinary people continue to struggling with the effects of their corrupt ways. Don't get me wrong -- I love what capitalism can do for us -- everything we take for granted today. But we a capitalist system that works for everybody.

Consider that real wages have flatlined since the 1970s, while the wealth of the richest 1% keeps growing exponentially. We want wage equality and equal rights for all Americans, not just wealthy ones. We want corporate money out of politics. Consider that the Supreme Court rulings that corporations are people (What?
