How YOU Can Help!

Due to the evident lack of actual information on our most recent entry "Seeing Through Rose-Coloured Glasses", I made an executive decision of posting an entirely new entry in the same day as the most recent was posted; going against a rule that I promised myself I would never break. Here I'll be hooking you up with a few interesting links, giving you ALL sides of the story, but mostly ours. 
In our next weekly addition (which, most unfortunately, WILL NOT be going ahead next week as Jasper is on a school camp) we will be giving a little more detailed insight into what the bastard politicians are trying to sneak past us.

Some international viewers think that harsh censorship laws in Australia won't affect them. Let me tell you now, thats far from the truth. Countries (especially western societies) have big influences on others which share their style of government. If they get it past us... how long will it take until it affects you?
And to our domestic viewers; some say this is just a minor censorship law. Only just over 10,000 websites will be blocked from our virgin innocent eyes compared to the millions upon millions that will get by. But stupid laws like this (and enforcement of laws like this) will always snowball... I don't know about you - but I don't want to live in an Australia where you can't finish typing in 'Stolen Generation' into Google before you're whisked off to the station for "interrogation".

What I'm saying, people, is that we NEED to stop this pathetic law from being passed; write to your local member, write to the government, throw your support behind TwoGuysOneChannel.
And keep in mind that Online Petitions don't mean shit, and if you send an angry letter to your member, it will probably not even reach him/her.

Here are some handy links if you're in the mood for researching:

And something a little off the hook:

Just keep in mind people
"It is not the function of Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error"

And that, kids, is why communism doesn't work.

Cheers;
"The Gang"
