Sen. Rand Paul launches petition to kill online piracy bills

Tea Party favorite Sen Rand Paul (R-KY) has launched an online petition urging Congress to kill two online piracy bills.

"America has had enough of Washington’s Big Government meddling and over-regulation. Yet some in Congress are pushing two dangerous and unconstitutional bills to regulate the one sector of our economy that’s creating jobs: the Internet," the petition states under a picture of Sen Paul. He had previously voiced opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House and Protect IP in the Senate, both of which would allow the government or copyright holders to demand search engines and other Web firms delete links to foreign websites deemed to be dedicated to piracy.
