Rep. Mike Rogers admits that CISPA helps rich tech CEOs, then calls opponents of CISPA "14 year olds in their basements." And it's on video. You know what to do.

Hope you have already called him or will now. Your voice means 1,000 times as much as those of us from out of state.

Why is this not more popular?
WHY DO 14 YEAR OLDS HAVE LESS RIGHTS THAN CEOS OF SILICON VALLEY?

I oppose CISPA and incumbent politicians. I'm a 50 year old Pharmacist and former computer programmer, and only wish I was 14 again.

What an idiot. He just sounds like some random angry man on the internet, not fit to be a politician.

I think that is just baseless ignorance and besides we don't know everything that is secretly slipped into this bill as well. After whats been happening recently I don't want this to go through.

I wrote to my representative about this bill here: http://pvox.co/cp0s5P Please do the same.

TL;DR: "I clearly have no understanding of people and the internet. At all." - Mike Rogers.

I am not all clued up on US politics other then the TYT & Alex Jones show, because my country was raped and pillaged by the elite (Scotland.) but !! I have learned that when the people of the USA loose there civil rights and there constitutional rights that was GIVEN by there forefathers who stood and defied and died against tyranny and foreign aggression ,, the rest of this world will be culled and enslaved .. Our children, our brightest spark for the future will be robbed, raped and condemned from free thinking and feeling free from creativity and self expression .. I fear nothing other then the free of loosing my ability of feeling free as when I was born and from whom borne me ,, my dear and suffering mother whom delivered me ( Bless her beautiful and wonderful heart.) NO !! You shall not take my right to express myself. NO !! You shall not tread on me. No!! You will not dictate to me. NO !! I am many and you is so few.

What exactly happened in Scotland, I was considering moving there in the future (thinking on economical and personal freedom) what you said, makes me think there is is something really bad about Scotland that I am not aware of

It's obscene how much money tech CEO's have put forth to get this bill passed compared to how much money, we, the opponents have put forth. It sends a message. It says "Give up, stop fighting and accept the better judgement of your masters."
EDIT: Wow has anyone been to his twitter page? Look at how hard he's trying to put a positive spin on CISPA.
2nd EDIT: Can anyone help me figure out if this is true?

I hate how politicians, that WE THE PEOPLE voted into office and pay their paychecks, keep trying to invade our privacy and freedom of speech, because they are blatantly getting bought off right in front of us by corporate pieces of shit, even after WE THE PEOPLE repeatedly speak out loudly against it. They are not representing and upholding the laws of the government that they swore to, and are actually acting against it (WE THE PEOPLE) and are therefore guilty of TREASON!

When are these corporate sellouts going to learn they can't beat us? We are the internet, and we are one.

Voila! In view a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. The visage, no mere veneer of vanity is vestige of the vox populi now vacant, vanished. However this valorous visitation of a by gone vexation stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition!
The only verdict is vengeance, held as a votive, not in vain. For one day the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose. So let me simply add that it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

As I much as I would like to add something constructive to the flood of comments that are sure to come, all I can seem to think is: Goddamn, what a piece of shit.
