  against the two bills winding their way through congress: SOPA and
  PIPA.  If these bills are passed, we will have to shutdown the Club
  Cafe and your club's Mail and Files area on bivio.com.  Of course, the
  accounting portion of the website would be spared.  Some sites, like
  Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, and so on, would have to shutdown completely
  as they would have no way of verifying that users would not be uploading
  material without authorization.
  Please contact your representatives and
  senators. Wikipedia is making it very easy to
  do:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
  Just enter your zip
  code, and you can then click on the contact forms for your
  congresspeople.
  SOPA and PIPA are regulations that would damage the US
  economy worse than any legislation that has ever come before it. 
  People who use bivio.com are investors, which implies they are
  capitalists.  If you believe in capitalism, you will notify congress
  that SOPA and PIPA will destroy all businesses that provide legal file
  sharing (dropbox.com, yousendit.com, etc.), blogs (wordpress.com,
  blogger.com, etc.), social media (twitter.com, facebook.com, google.com,
  etc.), and, of course, knowledge sharing (wikipedia.com, archive.org,
  etc.).
  Our economy is suffering enough.  Tell congress to help it,
  not hurt it!
  Thank you, Rob Nagler CEO & Chairman bivio
  Inc.
