Ron Paul slams SOPA: ‘The establishment hopes to censor’ freedom | The State Column:

Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, slammed the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) Wednesday. “My campaign, and the entire freedom movement, would not be as strong as they are today without a free Internet,” Mr. Paul said in a post on his Facebook page. Mr. Paul added that “that’s just one of the reasons why the establishment hopes to censor it with SOPA and PIPA'....
