Today is "blackout" day, in some form or another, for a number of the web's most highly-trafficked sites. These include the likes of wikipedia, reddit, cheezburger network, mozilla, wordpress, minecraft, and google. There are around 7,000 domains participating, showing solidarity against the ill conceived (and yet well lobbied) SOPA and PIPA bills. If you haven't done so already, consider signing one of the many petitions or personally contacting your representatives. Barring that, at least read up on the bills and find out what this is all about.

An idea on what to say: "I'm calling to register my strong opposition to the Protect IP act as a citizen and voter of [your state]." It really is that easy.
