(Looks like maybe somebody got a call from a contributor with business interests on the net)
"The internet is one of the most magnificent expressions of freedom and free enterprise in history. It should stay that way. While H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act, attempts to address a legitimate problem, I believe it creates the precedent and possibility for undue regulation, censorship and legal abuse. I do not support H.R. 3261 in its current form and will oppose the legislation should it come before the full House."
Congressman Paul Ryan

Of course, Ryan would agree to stop the bill if we just throw all the poor, elderly, disabled and other working people under the bus... Wait for it.
