Hi Joly,
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 
(http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/hear_11162011.html) with only 
Google speaking for Internet users and companies. More Congressmen are 
signing up to support it, according to the Washington Post yesterday.

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).

Best,
Kathy
