Chris Frates On Power, People And Influence From Capitol Hill To K Street

Heritage Key Voting Online Piracy Bills

Well this could put Republicans in a bind. Earlier today, I reported the Chamber is key voting the Senate Protect IP bill, urging a yes vote. Heritage Action for America today announced that it also plans to score the bill and is calling for a no vote. 


Both SOPA and PIPA purport to stop the theft of intellectual property from foreign-based websites. While well-intentioned, the manner in which these bills attempt to achieve those goals is unworkable and includes a host of unintended and dangerous consequences.
