The Biggest. Online. Protest. Ever is Still Smaller Than Just One Call To Your Lawmakers

Blacking out your site doesn’t help if the people voting on SOPA don’t visit it, and they probably don’t. That’s why this thing has gotten so far in the first place.

Also, the whole blackout thing is not an end unto itself, it is just to remind people that you actually have to do something in real life to help stop this. Reddit has a simple tutorial for you.

So look up your Reps and Senators and give them a call. Using the phone for things other than foursquare and text messages can be fun.

And for goodness sakes, don’t be a dick.
