Scalise Pulls SOPA Sponsorship

Louisiana GOP Congressman Steve Scalise (District 1) late today announced he will be removing his name as a sponsor to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

From Communications Director Stephen Bell:

Congressman Scalise is committed to stopping online piracy, and will be removing his name from SOPA while he works to ensure that the freedom of the internet is preserved.
