NaturalNews goes dark to protest SOPA / PIPA - government censorship may become law‏

Dear NaturalNews readers,

If you go to our home page right now, you'll find that it has a message declaring the website was SEIZED by the U.S. government under the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)
www.NaturalNews.com

NaturalNews is joining in the global internet strike against out-of-control government tyranny and censorship. Also joining in the protest are Wikipedia, Reddit, RawStory and thousands of other websites. They are all going "dark" for 12 - 24 hours.

SOPA and PIPA are proposed laws that would give the U.S. government the right to turn off any websites it wants by claiming their user comments link to copyrighted material. In other words, under this law, if a NaturalNews reader posted a comment containing a link to a copyrighted song, for example, the government could seize our entire website.

If SOPA passes, NaturalNews will be shut down. So will InfoWars, Wikipedia, RawStory, Reddit, YouTube, Facebook and thousands of other websites that offer alternative news and information.
Read my important article here on why your action is desperately needed right now to protest SOPA and PIPA:
