Y'all,
I've been reading about the "nuclear option" that some internet giants are considering in order to highlight SOPA and I wondered why they didn't just put a banner saying to "Pay attention to SOPA" on their sites.
I realized that it would only take a bit of time to build the service, so I did. It's built with Python, App Engine (my first time using it), Twitter's Bootstrap and GitHub. Has some rudimentary geolocating included so that politicians can be highlighted.
It's a very early version (ie. I only have data for CA politicians), but I figured HN would enjoy seeing it early, especially since it needs more love around:
* Increasing the list of SOPA supporters.
* Improving styling.
* Increasing functionality.
Usage: just add the following to your page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//sopajs.appspot.com/sopa.js">
</script>

* Bonus points to the first person to point out that the domain is registered on GoDaddy...
