[sudoroom] Internet Defense League Launching Tomorrow

[Eddan Katz]

Wow, sounds you guys are having a great time. I had actually sent a note about the launch of the Internet Defense League a few weeks back, suggesting that Sudo Room connect to this network or at least say something about it on our website. Would anyone object to doing that?

From today onward, if there's another terrible bill that would hurt the internet, we'll all be ready.  Millions of users will see the alert and take action, on the front pages of sites they love.

Donors get prizes, like a t-shirt or a tiny spotlight.  Can you help us reach our goal?
