Another good feature would be a summary of how SOPA currently stands, or a link to a website that has that information and keeps it current. I love HN, but it is NOT the place to get up to date political info. I believe at one point there were articles saying "SOPA postponed until January" and "SOPA will be voted on before Christmas" up at the same time. Also, a lot of those representatives have facebook pages. Is it worth SOPA opponents time to go on there and give them a hard time in the comments, or should we stick to phone calls? It might be worth including a link to their FB pages anyway, though I'm not sure on this one.

Yep, that was one of my feature creep ideas too: http://sopaopera.org/sopa/ http://sopaopera.org/sopa/ Unfortunately I decided on an ad-hoc database model for "Events" (when I originally just wanted to record statements by congressmembers) and never quite got reorganized in time. Not too hard to rectify, of course. In case you're wondering, there is an official place to get this info...the Library of Congress's THOMAS system: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:HR03261:@@@X http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d112:HR03261:@@@X There's still a lot of space for people who can create the links between entities, though...
