We are all against this junk and will be joining the march with Google, Reddit, Twitter, Yahoo, Amazon, Paypal, Ebay, etc on the January 18th, 2012 blackout.

I'm definitely anti-SOPA but I'm concerned this blackout stunt could backfire in more ways than one.
How long/what kind of time frame are you and these others sites going to do this thing for?

What kind of black out? As in not using the internet for a day? Im all for protesting SOPA but how will that do anything?
Is the blackout still going to happen even though the SOPA legislation has been shelved for the time being until a consensus has been found?

Whoa, hold on.
Google is NOT blackingout, yet. They are still thinking about it. They are not on the list you linked either.
Which is why the whole thing is totally pointless.I said it will vary from site to site. Facebook and twitter likely arent doing a full blackout either.
Which is why the whole thing is totally pointless.
As soon as the larger sites realized just how much money they will lose in the long run the whole blackout initiative evaporated.
