There are plenty of good roundups. What I haven't found is a good
take-action site along the lines of americancensorship.org or many
other anti-SOPA sites. I'll see if any of those people are planning to
do similar against RWA, but please day if I am or do miss the obvious
destination to link to.

Spacing, not breaks. Made "STOP SOPA ..." big with font-size:500%
which makes line spacing also huge, which is supposedly controllable
with line-height:

<p style="color:#FF0000; font-size:500%; text-align:center;
line-height:60%">STOP SOPA ☣ STOP RWA</p>

Of course <p> could be replaced with <span> followed by <br/> but then
centering has no effect.

For some reason when rendered in the sitenotice area, the spacing is
worse than previewed on http://acawiki.org/MediaWiki:Sitenotice

Anyone knows how to make look better, please let me know.

Mike
