Imagine the government picking which websites you can visit. It sounds like a story out of China, or Iran. But if we don't do something fast, this could soon be the US.

Under pressure from Hollywood, the Senate is racing to pass a new bill creating an Internet blacklist -- instead of having to go to court and get illegal sites shut down, the Attorney General could bypass due process and just censor the websites he doesn't like.

The first vote on this bill is expected this week! Can you sign our urgent petition opposing it? Click here.

In a letter to his constituents today, Herb Kohl told them:

In regards to procedure Congress may use to pass a health reform bill, or any bill for that matter, it has not been my policy to project how I will vote in advance. This is because there are too many things that can be modified up to the minute before a vote. That being said, you may be aware that throughout the health reform debate I have consistently supported a public option that creates a level playing field and increases access to health care.

Stop Ben Bernanke

Hi -- this is Aaron Swartz, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. We just sent this action alert to our members, to stop Ben Bernanke from being re-appointed as Federal Reserve Chair. Will you consider taking action?

UPDATE: Thanks to those who put this diary on the most recommended list. Please keep them coming!
