It's sad to see that for almost ever 1 SOPA opposing member on the list, there are about 4 supporting members.

- jmonegro 15y agoYeah. After seeing this, I'm pretty sure SOPA will pass...
- incomethax 15y agoIMO the only way to prevent SOPA passing would be Google/Facebook/Wikipedia going the "nuclear option" and putting up a click through page - short of that I doubt something this widely supported would get stopped.
- GHFigs 15y agoThe site does not list every member of Congress.
- sgaither 15y ago"...every congressmember who supports..." There's listings by state and by bill...so everyone in the House is at: http://sopaopera.org/sopa/ http://sopaopera.org/sopa/
- GHFigs 15y agoI should have been clearer. I mean that lists presented on the front page aren't necessarily reflective of the whole voting Congress. One can just as easily say for every opposing member there are twenty whose opinion is unknown, which I think carries a different connotation.
- sgaither 15y agoYeah but politicians who don't have to take a stance yet (i.e. by sponsoring) might just go with status quo...wasn't DMCA passed with a unanimous vote?
- cturner 15y agoUnclear. "Aug 4, 1998: This bill passed in the House of Representatives by voice vote. A record of each representative’s position was not kept." However, it's probably not good to assume that anything goes through congress unanimously without being sure: http://www.theonion.com/articles/ron-paul-promises-to-return-when-country-needs-him,6418/ http://www.theonion.com/articles/ron-paul-promises-to-return...
