The web is buzzing today about two bills—the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House—that could potentially limit free speech, innovation and compromise Internet security for web users and organizations. This is such an important topic, we’re skipping our normal blog to tell you what you can do.

We believe open communication and free expression online is worth protecting. We hope you do too.
