Blackout- January 18, 2012

There are nations in this world where mothers can’t fire up their laptops after tucking their babes into bed. They don’t feel the soft glow of the screen and the keys beneath their fingers as they tap out the day’s troubles. They won’t get immediate feedback from other mothers all over the world who had the same hassles and heartaches. They don’t get to say what they want, any time they want. However, that’s a freedom we *do* have here in the United States.

American mamas! We have a right to write about labor pains, spit-up, our kid’s poop, or any other ridiculous crap on the Internet!

I’m all for preventing piracy, but there has to be better legislation than SOPA and PIPA. Don’t let anyone take that away. Sign the petition against SOPA and PIPA.

This is my blackout.
