PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet – “Anti-censorship, senator-dialing widget for your website/blog”…12.01.11

From  Cory Doctorow:

Holmes sez, “Fight for the Future have a new way to stop the internet censorship bills: a Senate-dialing widget you can embed anywhere. You enter a phone number and zipcode, it calls you back with talking points, and then connects you to your Senator. You can put it in your site, your blog, your Tumblr page–whereever. Click the “embed” link at the bottom for code you can embed in your site. Take a few minutes to call if you haven’t already. It’s easy, and the DC-based groups fighting censorship desperately need a steady stream of phone calls to the Senate this week. Most of the outcry so far is against the House bill (SOPA) so there’s a real risk the Senate version will slip through.”
