Kill ACTA →

It’s a “trade agreement” arranged in secret overstepping all democratic processes, and unlike the U.S. SOPA and PIPA bills, ACTA is on a global scale. If you live in the European Union, please use the form at the link to mass-email all the MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) from your...
