Though we are proud of our part in yesterday's wave of protests against SOPA and PIPA, our participation in this political campaign, however justified and approved by our memberbase, raises questions about the Frontier's neutrality in political matters which the administration would like to answer.

SOPA and PIPA are exceptionally threatening to the Internet, the Internet's infrastructure, and free speech. This cause is of extraordinary importance, and RPGF's administrators feel that the future made possible by these bills is horrible enough to make political action by ordinarily apolitical entities justifiable and necessary. Wikipedia, for example, has taken action against SOPA and PIPA despite its neutral point of view policy. Furthermore, RPGF is, as an entity based online, vulnerable to harm if this bill should pass. Even worse, we are hosted within the United States.

Under ordinary circumstances, RPGF does not support any particular country, state, or nation of any level of recognition, power, or status, and supports no particular political ideology, movement, organization, party, candidate or group. It is only in extreme circumstances and with the approval of a majority of our active memberbase that this rule is broken. Undeniable stupidity, however, can not be left unchecked, particularly when it threatens us and our future.
