The EFF link for contacting congress critters is certainly an option,
but I don't see how it can be an effective one.

Unfortunately, the corporapists have pushed the legislation past
the point where EFF and emailing our reps can do a lot of good,
especially since Georgia's 2 Senators have proven themselves to
be freedom hating cheerleaders for the corporapists in every vote
since they were installed in office.

This "Pimp Intellectual Perfidy" bill could come up for a vote on
the Senate floor at any time, and the filibuster by progressive
patriots is the strongest option we the people now have for
stopping the attack on our civil liberties.  With all the corporate
puppet fascists that have been installed in the House by the
rabidly retarded and self destructive teabagger terrorists, the
lunatic fringe props for the 1% have a small majority there which
guarantees that our freedoms and constitutional rights will never
be defended in that half of the congress.  Pretty clear by now
that the President is nothing but another spineless front man
for the extremist right wing agenda as well, so I don't think we can
reasonably expect the needed veto from that pathetic puppet.

If we want to effectively defend freedom of speech at this stage,
I think it's pretty clear that we need to add our names here in
support of the filibuster plan:
