I think this may actually be genius. Someone call Zuck, Jack, and Larry.

  I think Wikipedia Italia had a better idea. Forget the politicians, Google and Facebook have the ability to highlight the implications to virtually everybody in the US. Big corporations might not often be inclined towards grandstanding, but there's precedent when it comes to Google objecting to censorship. A little "if this Bill passes, we'll be serving a lot less search results" message above every search performed by US users would be sufficient to make the bill politically suicidal, methinks.

  Thinking about it more, this is a great way to spread the message of how awful this bill is. We do not need the big tech companies to sign on, we just need a handful of small startups. Startups are representative of future economic growth and everyone understands this. Example headline would go something like this -- "Fearful new legislation will cripple the internet, a growing number of young tech companies have banned 28 senators from ever using their products." If anyone wanted to do this, I would put up a few thousand dollars.
