Yes, but many are not members of congress currently - Romney and Gingrich being 2 specifically.



Opposing SOPA with a vote in Congress isn't the only way for real leaders to register dissent. There's no excuse for Romney or any other candidate to avoid informing the American public that as President, they would veto any future SOPA-like legislation restricting Internet freedom.


The media companies are all supporting SOPA, so anyone who opposes SOPA is probably worried about the repercussions of going public.

I can understand why they might be staying quiet, but I think it is weak and cowardly.


Also, former Senator Christopher Dodd is now CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America.
