States opposition to SOPA
"I do not support the current proposals in either the House (SOPA) or Senate (PIPA) aimed at stopping online piracy. Protecting ideas, products, and intellectual property of all kinds on the Internet is important. Protecting the free exchange of ideas is also very important. There are a number of efforts underway to try to find a way to accomplish both goals, but doing so will require major revisions to the bills that have been introduced."

Responds to constituent in video chat
"I am not to a point on this issue where I know what the right answer is. I am not comfortable with either [SOPA] or letting this problem [intellectual property theft] continue to fester"
