An open plea to Google

Dear Google,

I'm writing this letter to ask for your assistance in a campaign of awareness.  Currently the US Government is considering legislation that would undermine the fundamental freedom we enjoy in using the Internet.  In the spirit of openness, please help out our fellow Americans to protest the gross miss use of the US Law.  I'm talking about current legislation that goes by the names SOPA, PIPA, ACTA, and others.  These bills, if passed, would break and ruin the Internet as we know it.  

My request to you, Google, is to stop processing search requests for 24 hours beginning on January 1, 2012.  Instead, change the Google.com page to simulate the censorship that would result from these bills.  A campaign of this magnitude is what will be required to raise the awareness of the American public. Maybe then the guys and gals in Washington will understand the mistake they are too close to making.

Sincerely yours,

Everyone on the Internet
