Some of you may have seen me post these photographs of myself dating back to 2001. What you may have known was that they were done as artistic expression, and with a message. What you may not have known, was that if I did not have the freedom to share them, thousands of dollars would not have been raised supporting local 9/11 charities - one of which I founded, gave animals homes who otherwise would have been senselessly killed, and more. Because of this, I am going all in and am competely "shutting down" and staying off the internet for a full 24 hours in protest and support with the rest of the those participating. It may be a small way of sending a message with what I have, but it's still a stand nonetheless and I encourage those feeling the same to participate in their own way as well. The Stop Online Piracy Act, is a controversial antipiracy bill being debated in Congress. "Final details under consideration but consensus seems to be for 'full' rather than 'soft' blackout!" Censhorship has no place in 2012, especially over such a remarkable medium as the internet. Blackout begins midnight tonight. For more information check out http://tinyurl.com/88wplk2. JL
