LiveSafeUSA.com is more than just an informational site for emergency preparedness and business continuity.  It is also a site for safeguarding your civil rights.  This includes the right to free speech which is in the process of being co-opted by corporations who feel their profits are diminishing due to the internet’s digital marketplace.

There are two bills before Congress, known as the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House, would censor the Web and impose harmful regulations on American business. Millions of Internet users and entrepreneurs already oppose SOPA and PIPA.
