I think we should not only do the website strike but we should also post a small statement that day on a frontpage that day. The same statement could also be sent out to various websites, news, pr, social media websites and everyone in IGC that has and can set their twitter and facebook statuses? I have already blogged and protested on the SOPA issue!<div>

Strike!<br>To:<br><br><u></u>
<div>
<p>On Jan. 18th there is going to be an all-out strike on the internet. Websites
across the internet are going dark in protest of the internet censorship bills
in Congress, SOPA and PIPA.</p>
<p>Some of the biggest sites in the world are participating: Reddit, Mozilla.
And some others may join (e.g. a leading micro-blogging platform and a popular
collaboratively-written encyclopedia), but they need a nudge. If we can get them
to join this will be EPIC.</p>
