While your Congressman has probably already made up his mind on this issue, you're not going to help him change it if your communication comes from a 'liberal' organization like the EFF. Why don't you try writing him while incorporating some more conservative commentary? Here's a couple of links from the National Review, one of my morning reads: http://www.nationalreview.com/agenda/281962/larry-downes-sopa-reihan-salam http://www.nationalreview.com/agenda/281962/larry-downes-sop... http://www.nationalreview.com/media-blog/283537/sopa-battle-congress-over-internet-censorship-nathaniel-botwinick http://www.nationalreview.com/media-blog/283537/sopa-battle-... I'm sure you can find more with a little Google-fu. One of the more interesting things about SOPA is that both its supporters and opponents are pretty bipartisan. You can't oppose (or support) it by indiscriminately supporting one party or the other.

How is the EFF a liberal organization? Their primary agenda seems to be pro individual privacy, pro encryption, and anti-copyright. Until 2001, some of those (encryption and privacy) were conservative issues. Now both parties tend to be in agreement and oppose the EFF on all of these issues.

  I think GP is suggesting EFF has more in common with the ACLU than with the Tea Party. I think of the EFF as more Libertarian, and a often bit extreme in its position, which I think often puts it at the fringes of either of the major parties. As is mentioned elsewhere, both parties have trouble understanding/responding to tech/privacy/open source/IP issues, so it's good there's a voice. I glad the EFF finds opportunities to disagree with both parties.

  That's why I put 'liberal' in quotes.
