This afternoon I looked up my Senators and my Representative on Vote Smart, and called them and told them I opposed PIPA (the Senate version) and SOPA (the House version) respectively.
I hope you will consider doing the same.
The URL for Vote Smart is www.votesmart.org. If you put your ZIP in the search box at the top, and then scroll down to +Congressional on the results page (if there is a box that says "problem" try ignoring it and scrolling down; the election stuff isn't the issue right now anyway) it will list your Senators and Representative--if you click on them you can get contact info, including their phone number.
--------less important stuff------------
In other news, I wrote the second song of 2012 today. I was so entranced by the song idea, I accidentally killed the microwave by putting my tea mug in there without any water in it. I was dancing around the kitchen singing and the microwave started making scary noises and flashing its interior light.
So I unplugged it for being scary. And promptly went and wrote down my song, because I have my priorities straight: first prevent fires; then write songs.
Then get a new microwave, which I did this afternoon, which was an expense and an extra chore I could have done without, plus the new one takes up a lot more space on the counter. But it has the blessings of Consumer Reports so hopefully it will be a good one. And really, the old one was 20 years old, so this was not an unexpected development.
