I posted a comment on this yesterday, saying I'd written to my congressman and both senators. I got one response today and thought to update the community:
January 19, 2012
Dear Mr. Brown,Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and S. 968, the Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property (PROTECT IP) Act or (PIPA).
I have received more than 300 calls and emails about SOPA and PIPA in the last 24 hours – and I wanted to be sure to let you know that I will vote against these bills should they be considered on the House Floor.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your views with me on this important issue. I hope to hear from you again soon.
Sincerely,
John Yarmuth

While I hope this doesn't happen, this only excites me. It could put the internet into limbo, yet technology would advance due to this, or the net could go on as it's glory presently. So Strange Days and Johnny Mnemonic.

It's a little late now, but it would have been pretty cool for one of the candidates to do a SOPA black out too. I believe it would have built some good will. That being said, I don't know which candidate would have done that.

No. . . His word is subjective to what serves his Imperialist aspirations.
Btw, I made the call on this impending manoeuvring by statist govt attempting to control the net and suppress free speech some time ago!http://current.com/community/92877232_fcc-again-attempts-to-regulate-enforce-net...

Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard a Conservative utter the word "Imperialist" in regards to American policy, except maybe from Ron Paul.
You're right, PIPA, at least, has been around for a long time.
I'm severely disappointed in the bipartisan support this bill has.

To Obama and most other politicians, words are not used to convey meaning or truth. To them, words are tools used to direct the thoughts and opinions of the masses -- to deceive us in such a way that benefits the elite and their own careers.
Farts have more truth than the foul air that comes out of the mouth holes of politicians, but I'd wager that even Obama's farts are lies. They sound like change, but they're just full of shit, so it's his underwear that could really use the change, which is the only kind of change we'll ever see from Obama.

So...just enjoying a little bit of light reading on the web today? (sigh...yes, I'm talking to you).
If you don't get off your ass and sign this petition... you'll soon find your choices for reading on the web ... will be entirely dictated by the same mega wealthy criminals who created this global meltdown. Think about that one for a second. What could these thugs possibly want for you and I?
If you're reading stories like these on CurrentTV News... odds are you have some modicum of intelligence. Please get involved and sign this petition to keep the only avenue remaining for truth...alive and protected.

Even the name is a big fat LIE!
SOPA is classic madison avenue misdirection to influence bipeds with 5 second attention spans (you know, Republicans) into thinking (wow, that's a contradiction in terms) that they're supporting something worthwhile. Most of us know that SOPA has very little to do with online Piracy.
Like Karl Rove's magical "Citizens United"... SOPA is yet another turd gussied up with stinky perfume to steal support for something that can only benefit the 1%.
