There are two steps that strike me as obvious. Inform the committee of the
community's concerns and go to the press.

Here in the UK when a union gets a majority vote for strike action it
sometimes focuses management's attention and prompts concessions.

Going straight from such a vote to taking action would in my view lose a
useful opportunity to let those promoting SOPA from dropping or amending it
before we take action.
