The Obama administration has just made public its opposition to the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). Where SOPA, the previous big-deal bill regarding the Internet, would have given the US federal government enormous powers to remove sites from the Internet, CISPA would grant the US federal government the power to spy on just about everything that happens over the Internet. This would be allowed without any oversight, such as needing a warrant before performing a search, and is a direct violation of the 4th Amendment of the US Constitution.

It's been said that an innocent man has nothing to hide, so the Galactic Free Press invites the US Government to open up all its many many secret files for the whole Planet to view. The power a government has over its people should never outweigh the power the people have over their government.
