Seconded.

Showing your appreciation makes them much more likely to stick up for you in the future. If these bills do get shot down, they'll inevitably return in a different form in the future.

Yes, I agree. I've 'protested' my two senator's stance for PIPA, but I made sure to call and thank my House rep for opposing SOPA.

I did the exact same. I wasn't aware before calling that my representative opposed both bills, but I made sure his staff knew I appreciated it when they told me.
