Template:SOPA Senate whip count

This page is an OpenCongress community project. We are seeking to get each U.S. senator on-record with their position on the Protect IP Act of 2011 (known as "whipping the vote" in DC-speak). By forcing votes out into the open, the public has a greater opportunity to give their senators feedback before the vote.

You can help by selecting a senator below and contacting them by phone or email (via OpenCongress' Contact Congress feature). When calling on the phone, be sure to identify yourself as a constituent, and give your mailing address for verification. Please be polite, and ask the senator's staff what the senator's position is on the Protect IP Act. If they indicate their position, use the key below to categorize the answer. If they don't, urge them to vote "no."

If someone has already recorded the senator's position, contact them again! The more calls/emails they get, the more they'll pay attention. If there position hasn't changed, please note your contact on the Protect IP Act Senate contact log so everyone can track their responses.
