You know, this might be a good idea. Planned, Orchestrated, Black outs as a public protest would be a great idea. Once all these congress idiots can't get to their kiddy porn or see what their nieces friends are doing because they can't stalk them in silent protest of their paid off legislation... Hell it's better than a hunger strike any day!
It'd be great if they could orchestrate a strike from the IT department when all of them are running around the senate/house floor trying to get crap done & their internet goes down or solitaire stops working.
But in passing... just don't mess with my online bill paying or I'd be in a real tizzy.

What the fuck does Paul Ryan have to do with this? He is Staunchly against this type of shit. Looks like I'm gonna have to go investigate and make sure that no one is trying to use one initiative to accomplish an unrelated outside agenda again.

This is great stuff...but they really need to get Google and some other prominent figures into the mix as well before it has any meaning. I know they're planning on it, but I haven't seen em commit to anything, really.

"A Day Without Google" Would be immense!!!
I wonder if they could even do it.
Reddit is big enough, but not known enough. It's a good thing but it's only a start.
We gotta see this from the biggies.
Google
Facebook
Youtube
Netflix
Bing

To be a young company & only 10 people running it AND actually, physically doing something with regards to SOPA? It's immaterial what your dogma of their state of being is. They may very well have put in place a simple "ball in motion" that my dad's generation used (with a lot of pot) to make this little thing that Obama said he would make his election campaign on.
Change.

I thought o-Boob-o's election campaign was on killing businesses and sending them overseas... Like GE Healthcare, Westinghouse and even Boeing is designing a super-plant over in China. Soon China's Internet policies will be liberal over ours.

That might be true... but Romney certainly has a perfect portfolio of proven performance preceding him... Obama, I suppose by your definition, is just getting there.
