"As US cybersecurity bill CISPA heads to the House Floor for a vote, the White House National Security Council has issued a statement suggesting that the President won't support it in its current form. "We continue to believe that information sharing improvements are essential to effective legislation," said NSC spokesperson Caitlin Hayden told the Los Angeles Times in a statement. "but they must include privacy and civil liberties protections, reinforce the roles of civilian and intelligence agencies, and include targeted liability protections."*

CISPA, the controversial bill that greatly threatens the privacy of anyone online, is making its way to Congress after passing in a closed-door vote by the House Intelligence Committee by a huge margin. There were no changes to the language to protect personal privacy. How is this happening after the internet so loudly cried foul, and why is it being ignored in the press? Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

I like to point out that the mainstream media is not covering this.

Find out who voted and when election time comes around their asses are out  the door. Plain and simple.

Or course they aren't.
That would've meant another SOPA uprising type of thing.

They will do anything to keep people, under control.
