States opposition to SOPA in its current form
"I am opposed to H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), in its current form. While we must crack down on foreign websites’ piracy of copyrighted material, we must be careful to do so in a way that neither curtails due process for Americans nor treads on free speech. In these areas, I feel that SOPA risks overreach. The bill should be re-written or amended to focus more narrowly on specific criminal activity without granting expansive new cyber-police powers that could threaten the freedom and dynamic character of the internet."
