I asked Pete Olson (22nd Texas Congressional District) for his position on SOPA and here is his reply

Dear XXXXX:

Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act. I appreciate hearing from you on this important matter.

I understand your concern. As you may know, this bill was introduced to expand protections for America’s intellectual property (IP) and combat the illegal distribution of counterfeit goods via rogue websites. It allows the Attorney General to seek injunctions against foreign websites that steal and sell American innovations and products. The bill increases criminal penalties for individuals who traffic in counterfeit medicine and military goods, which put innocent civilians and American soldiers at risk. It also seeks to improve coordination between IP enforcement agencies in the U.S. Currently this legislation has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee. While I am not a member of this committee, I do look forward to reviewing the committee’s findings on H.R. 3261. Should legislation concerning H.R. 3261 come before the House of Representatives for a vote, I will consider it with your thoughts in mind.

Once again, thank you for contacting me; I am honored to represent you in the U.S. House of Representatives. Also, please feel free to visit my website, www.house.gov/olson for more information on constituent services, current legislation, and to sign up for my E-newsletter.

Very respectfully, Pete Olson Member of Congress
