Oregon State Senate Bill 1534 is an attack on the people's rights to communicate and organizing online, and it needs to be stopped before it goes out of Committee hearings. Like S.O.P.A or P.I.P.A., this is a veiled attempt to strike at the heart of free speech and freedom of assembly online. This bill turns a misdemeanor into a Felony, if the act was organized via electronic communication. For example, something as harmless as a "Flash Mob" could be a felony. This bill will not only limit people's ability to communicate online, it could also limit internet user's use of Youtube for uploads. Bills like S.O.P.A. have already been rejected by the American People. Senators Whitsett, Atkinson, Ferrioli, George, Johnson, Kruse, Morse, Olsen, starr, Telfer, Verger, and Winters, please withdraw your support from this bill and urge those of your colleagues who do not understand the popular nature of the internet to refrain from interfering with it.
I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you have joined this effort to protect our rights. We are nearly at two hundred and fifty signatures and that number is going to carry real weight when it reaches the committee. Please keep pushing this out to anyone you know so we can keep our momentum going.

Are they serious with this? Making a flash mob a felony is completely insane. Stop trying to control everything we do online!

My kids use youtube for school stuff and personal projects all the time. This bill is extremely vague and way too broad. Stop it.

RIDICULOUS. Oregon needs to focus on real problems instead of trying to throw people in jail for using social media. Vote no.

Big mistake. This will backfire on everyone involved.
