Google's homepage during the day of action against SOPA and PIPA

Today, hundreds of websites shut down either entirely or partially in order to educate their audiences about the dangers of the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protct IP Act (PIPA). Then, in conjunction with dozens of activist organizations, they directed millions of people ( over 4.5 million from Google alone ) to contact their senators and members of Congress in opposition to those bills. The result was amazing:Over 22,000 Kossacks contacted their senators today, and more than 75,000 have taken action in the last two months. A big thanks to each and every one of you for making this one of the more successful days of action I can ever remember.
