I’m not blacking out my page since I think the pop-ups only go so far. I have, however…
✔Better educated myself on the matter (which comes in handy when we get to the third thing)
✔Signed the petition
✔Contacted my representative (and laid into him for his support, but respectfully and articulately, and using his otherwise excellent record as a "Y U SUPPORT THIS!?!") and urged him to oppose SOPA
The internet is an invaluable tool that's spanned light-years beyond what it was imagined to accomplish. It's all the more important that we protect it against such legislation not just because it's in many cases literally a life-sustaining resource, but because SOPA opposes another invaluable tool and in many cases literally life-sustaining resource, freedom of speech.
