Default ACTA, time to write your representative if you live in the USA

So,

This was brought to my attention recently and I have been reading up on it. There is an international trade agreement in the works that has many country's hands in it. It is called ACTA, see wiki for more info here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Co...rade_Agreement

There have been some secret meetings amongst some big dogs, and by big dogs I mean: Google, Microsoft, HP, Dell, Intel, and so forth. These meetings have been deemed secret because they apparently pertain to national security, which is complete and utter BS! How do giant corporations get involved with national security?

Also, the USA is starting to pressure the rest of the world to adhere to their ideas of copy right and IP infringement. Here goes some more info on it:

Furthermore, here goes a list of the people that signed the NDA to not discuss the bill with the public:

How do those people fit in to national security? This is bull crap. If you are of voting age write your representative. Heck, if you can't vote yet write your representative.

Go here and start writing and pass it along. Let your voice be heard.
