Don't forget PIPA ("Protect IP Act", S. 968), the Senate's counterpart. Both must be reconciled and passed for this cr-p to go into effect. (Though I'm not too hopeful about Senators' responsiveness.)
- rvb 15y agoPROTECT IP already has 41 sponsors out of the 100 members of Senate: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:SN00968:@@@P http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:SN00968:@@@P The facts that almost half of Senators are sponsors and that they represent whole states would make a spatial visualization less helpful, I think. I figured this particular format would be more effective to highlight the small minority (32/435) of House members sponsoring SOPA. So I started there. You're absolutely right that PROTECT IP deserves just as much attention, though. I will get to work as soon as I can on compiling a table of the PROTECT IP sponsors' contact info.
