This article is about what politicians should learn from SOPA/PIPA, but this is one of the more important things YOU should read:
Americans must understand it. We no longer have the luxury of silent majorities, which can only be a majority on voting day.

Outside of election season a silent majority is no different than an army of useful idiots.
Never be hesitant to phone Washington, America.

Wikipedia is a non-profit organization, and if enough Internet users pledge to donate at least $1 to Wikipedia, it will reduce the burden on them if they choose to join the protests. We’ll update you once Wikipedia makes a final decision.
