You can quickly email them as well, but a call has great impact - this is a democracy and it only functions when we all participate!

> The SOPA and PIPA protests were successful because we all took part, as a community. As Aaron once put it, everybody "made themselves the hero of their own story." We can set a date, but a real movement requires everyone, and in particular the users of the Internet, to get involved.
