    Washington Post 11/18/11 (SOPA lawmaker opposition grows as debate heats up http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/sopa-stop-online-piracy-act-lawmaker-opposition-grows-asdebate-heats-up/2011/11/18/gIQADBdQZN_story.html?

    tid=pm_business_pop) While the Stop Online Piracy Act has a lot of bipartisan support, its also garnered quite a bit of lawmaker opposition particularly from California politicians, who are joining Silicon Valley opposition to the bill. Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D- Calif.) said Thursday on Twitter that Congress needs to find a better solution than SOPA, adding the hashtag #DontBreakTheInternet. Earlier this week, Reps. Anna Eshoo (D), Doris Matsui (D), Mike Thompson (D), John Campbell (R), Zoe Lofgren (D), Mike Honda (D) and George Miller (D) all signed a letter to the House Judiciary Committee outlining their opposition. Reps. Jared Polis (DColo.), Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) and Mike Doyle (D- Penn.), also signed the letter. While the representatives agree with the spirit of the bill, they said SOPA as written, however, is overly broad and would cause serious and long term damage to the technology industry, one of the few bright spots in our economy.
