Contacting our representatives is precisely what did it! But all of the blacked-out sites had redirects to contact info of those Representatives and that's what lit up the phones and email of our senators!

Without the blackout, there was little awareness. It worked, plain and simple!

Do you really think Senators would cave because some sites "went dark?" I mean, maybe….maybe….but tons of emails, faxes and calls…..that's the ticket to stop bad legislation if it can be stopped. The black outs is PR – the contact with the Senators offices is the Action. IMHO. :)
