Statement against SOPA in an email to a constituent
"Thank you for contacting me in opposition to H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). You will be pleased to know that I am opposed to this legislation, and would vote against it if it came to the House floor in its current form. ...Online piracy is a serious threat that needs to be addressed, but I believe SOPA takes too large a step without adequate consideration for its First Amendment implications. I believe intellectual property and unfettered access to content online are not mutually exclusive. Please be assured that I will continue working to find a solution that helps assure intellectual property created in this country is not stolen, and at the same time allows people to have unrestricted access to their favorite websites."
