Here in NYC (the second tech hub in the the US) we have not one but two Protect IP Act co-sponsors: Senator Schumer and Senator Gillibrand. I don't think enough people know about this. Give them a call or email and let them know how you feel about Protect IP and SOPA.
Here are links for Schumer & Gillibrand, to contact them:

Same with here in CA. Both Feinstein and Boxer are PIPA co-sponsors.

We've got a co-sponsor here in Missouri too, the governor's brother, no less. Out with the old, I say.

Randomly selected california...goddamn that makes for bad reading.
How are the funding amounts quantified? For example, for Chuck Schumer, the site has this:
Money Raised $1,465,160 from big media
$1,191,700 from pro-PIPA groups
$323,475 from anti-PIPA groups
From every other type of campaign-finance summation I've seen, big media IS considered a "pro-PIPA group" (and these classifications by the open-gov groups aren't a hard science either, of course)...so how is it that pro-PIPA groups have a lower amount than big media?

All these amounts include links to sources.
"Big media" goes to a page where it explains that it's a career total (from opensecrets.org). I initially just added this, but then the Paul Ryan issue came up and the Atlantic Monthly article criticized the lack of data around this issue.
So I put in data from maplight.org - just funds raised specific to this issue.
