    Good day, Many of our Freedoms are under attack including Internet Freedom, and I am very concerned about my rights as an American citizen and voter. I am opposed to H.R. 1981 and S. 1308 the "Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act of 2011." I am deeply concerned that this legislation could constitute a serious and possibly unintended overreach of powers and risks grave violation of our First and Fourth Amendment rights. There are already very strong laws regarding the dissemination of adult material to minors as well as the sexual/pornographic exploitation of minors which I and many of my fellow citizens stand firmly behind uph0lding such laws. However there must be a better way to carefully, selectively, and more effectively target those who break existing laws and prosecute them to the fullest extent prescribed by Federal and State Law without risking the rights and privacy of average citizens. Under no uncertain terms should our government be involved in gathering data on law abiding citizens who are going about their daily business and using the internet for legitimate activities. Also, I oppose Senator Joseph Lieberman's Cybersecurity Act of 2012, which provides the Department of Homeland Security with broad powers to control civilian networks. In addition to the noted concerns, I also understand that Senator Charles Schumer(D-NY) has sponsored an add on amendment to the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 that is related to Firearms, specifically a ban on the sale/transfer of high capacity magazines/feeding devices which is completely and totally unrelated to any perceived benefit contained within the Cybersecurity Act of 2012. This add on amendment is yet another veiled attempt to incrementally dissect the rights of law abiding citizens in their Second Amendment Rights. I vehemently oppose the current form of the above legislation and any add on amendments related to Private Firearms Ownership. I respectfully and strongly urge reconsideration of this legislation and hope that with all due regard that any future legislation regarding Cyber Security and Internet Protection of Minors will provide for specific and targeted measures to help in all areas of concern while at the same time preserve the fundamental rights and freedoms of our citizenry already guaranteed by the Constitution, Federal, and State Laws. I will be forwarding this petition across our State via email and social media networks urging other citizens to review and sign this petition and observe the outcome of your votes in all matters of concern thereof.

    We can help the country by getting rid of those who are screwing it up. Reid is a good one to start with and b. nelson and polsi and barney frank and shulmer and obama. Can't leave him out. Also all the back stabbing rep and i almost forgot the clintons. This would save our country. Don't you all think so? Concerned American

    Not only does this bill violate our 1st and 4th Amendment rights, recent additions to this bill is now looking to violate our 2nd Amendment rights. The Schumer "Magazine" Amendment is looking to ban firearm magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds. This is a horrible encroachment on our 2nd Amendment rights and is a stepping stone to eventually ban semi-automatic firearms. Please vote against the Cybersecurity Act of 2012.
