What's the best way to see what my local rep has said about SOPA?
- aaronbrethorst 15y agoCall them. http://whoismyrepresentative.com http://whoismyrepresentative.com edit: I'm 99% sure that my congressman, Jim McDermott, is opposed to SOPA, but I just called his office to make absolutely sure. It only took me a minute. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call your congressperson.
- hkmurakami 15y agoThanks for the link. I found that the congresswoman representing me is Anna Eshoo (D), who was part of the 11 member bipartisan group speaking out against SOPA last month [1] While this means that I don't have to call her office to "change her position", I will still call to thank her / her office for being a vocal opponent of SOPA. edit: Also, thanks to the HN users who have posted in other threads asking others to call the offices just to voice their support for their representatives, even if the congressman/congresswoman is already against SOPA. Without their words, I wouldn't be calling my representative today to say thanks.

- innernette 15y agoIf you have the time, definitely give your representative a call, but you can also check out the Open Congress page for SOPA (H.R.3261): http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h3261 http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h3261 Also, be sure to ask about Protect IP (S.968): http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-s968 http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-s968
