Franken and Klobuchar take notice

It appears that outcry around the country over SOPA, the bill that would break the internet, is making Congress take notice. Both Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar issued statements to MPR yesterday tempering their support for the bill.

Franken:

Sen. Franken has heard the concerns that many Minnesotans have voiced over the past few days about the PROTECT IP Act, and he believes we need to reach a compromise that will both keep the Internet free and open and protect American Jobs.

Klobuchar:

The Senator believes we need to address concerns being raised today and work out a compromise that balances free exchange on the Internet with stopping foreign piracy that hurts our economy.

These are admittedly weak, noncommittal statements. But at least they’re progress. Please keep calling until they walk back their support of SOPA completely.

Al Franken: 202-224-5641 

Amy Klobuchar: 202-224-3244
