To what end? This is a bet on a third-order effect.
Action: Wikipedia goes into blackout.
First-order effect: People get angry because they can't look up something.
Second-order effect: They internalize that they should be angry about SOPA, and call their congresscritter.
Third-order effect: The amount of voters calling is enough to make said congresscritter oppose SOPA.
The only guarantee is that people won't be able to access wikipedia. Everything else is increasingly unlikely.
