Hi Joly,<br>
The response has been great! Unfortunately, the perception here in
Washington is still that those who support the bill are making
headway. The hearing on SOPA was stacked 5:1
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/hear_11162011.html">http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/hear_11162011.html</a>) with only
Google speaking for Internet users and companies. More Congressmen
are signing up to support it, according to the Washington Post
yesterday.<br>
<br>
So, much more work is needed, including much more strategic work. I
am going to be spending a lot of time thinking about what else we
can do to help. If you have any ideas, please let me know (offline,
please).<br>
<br>
Best,<br>

<div>I was particularly impressed by the efficacy of the
tumblr campaign yesterday - logged in users were confronted
by a censored version of their own blogs, and then directed
to <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Tumblr reports that their advocacy push around the Stop Online
Piracy Act yesterday generated 87,834 calls to representatives and
a total of 1,293 hours talking to staffers on Capitol Hill
