Hacker group Anonymous released a list of lawmakers that it hopes to defeat this year. The list includes all members of Congress who supported the defense spending bill or two anti-piracy measures, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). The list is a mix of Democrats and Republicans. "We are calling on voters, activists and keyboard warriors under all banners to unite as a single force to unseat the elected representatives who threaten our essential freedoms and who were so quick to minimize our individual constitutional rights for a quick corporate profit," the group wrote. The campaign is a partnership between Anonymous and several Occupy Wall Street protest groups.
