Thinking about the subject, occurred to me that there are some clue-bies with some pretty strong feelings about SOPA.  Strong enough to put your money where your mouth is?
(Provided of course that anyone has sites/domain names on GoDaddy)

December 29th Is Leave GoDaddy Day
Congress pitches awful bill. Dozens of companies support awful bill. One of those companies is the reviled, asshole-ish GoDaddy. GoDaddy dismisses criticism. Internet decides it doesn't need GoDaddy. Let's do this.

The idea of an organized GoDaddy domain walkout, prompted by lolcat baron Ben Huh and community organization on Reddit, is a damn good one. GoDaddy has already rolled its eyes at the idea of a boycott in a note to ArsTechnica:

Go Daddy has received some emails that appear to stem from the boycott prompt, but we have not seen any impact to our business.

If you're currently doing business with GoDaddy, why don't you give them some impact on the 29th? [Atlantic Wire]

Personally, I like to see this kind of activism, but I tend to respect anyone's right to make the choice for themselves.  I don't have a site on GoDaddy, so I can't support the effort directly, but I thought I'd pass along the word, and support them indirectly.  Would it be an abuse to ask if someone can pass along the word to the crowd at DenHac?
