If we want Protect-IP to die in the Senate, we need to step it up. SopaOpera.org has a list of people who are for, against, and undecided on PIPA. If your representative is undecided, contact them immediately! All of them are potential allies. Tell them about the damage PIPA could do to free speech, and to the American economy. Even the ones in favor of PIPA are worth contacting. If they think that enough people will vote against them in the next election, they might just change their minds.

Both of my senators have signed on as cosponsors of PIPA. I sent them both emails today using the web forms on their respective sites, and asked them to reconsider their support for this approach. I also contacted my Congressman, who is on the House judiciary committee, but doesn't seem to have taken a position on SOPA.

If you're cool with it would you mind sharing the verbiage you used? I've been making my way through SOPA with a highlighter when I have time, making notes, trying to form my thoughts before I write. I don't know what standard protocol is in these types of letters though. 5 paragraphs or less?
