You may have noticed that some of your favorite websites have gone dark today — Wikipedia, Craigslist and the list continues.

Why have major sites shut down?

It’s a warning sign as to what might happen if SOPA became law.

The two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.

The Senate will begin voting on January 24th. We’re calling all entrepreneurs and small business owners to let them know how you feel. Sign this petition urging Congress to vote NO on PIPA and SOPA before it is too late.
