[ale] Update On SOPA/PIPA: ALE Should Join the Strike !?

The redirect page we are using for the ALE blackout has
several invitations to be pro-active in registering complaint

PS & [OT]:
President Obama has made noise about vetoing any
SOPA / PIPA legislation, but the gutless wonder puppet has
a standing record of doing the Right Wing thing a whole lot
more often than the RIGHT thing. Seems he's just added a
slightly darker shade to the bomb and bankrupt and bailout
policies dumped on him by the war criminals of the
Cheney/Bush corporate welfare state regime.
