#2Is there a list of representatives that support this bill anywhere? Just so voters know which people and political parties to never vote for again.

I'm afraid that subset of political parties is also its own superset.

#5During that time we should compile a list of all representatives that support this bill and any/all donations and from whom those donations came from to support this bill. When the money trail is out in the open, I think both the representatives and the donors may be more timid about pushing forward against an unpopular bill like this.

The "SOPA Vote Delayed" link on the front page is the better article upon which to comment.

I prefer not to decide to withdraw my vote until they cast theirs. And even then, I honestly would rather not withdraw my vote until I've discussed the matter with the relevant congressperson and found out what their reasoning was. If they can make a reasoned argument, I will reconsider. Merely disagreeing with my congressperson is not enough for me to withdraw my vote, because it's a given that I will disagree with them on various points. If they are a reasonable person, I will generally weigh the number of things we agree and disagree on. If they are not willing to listen to reason, my support is out the window immediately.
Anyway, I think despite the fact that it's likely that those who support it now will vote for it, it's perhaps too early to make a decision on voting or not voting for a given person based on this bill alone.

Great idea. Who owns Congress?

It's not quite what you're asking for, but OpenCongress.org seems to have a pretty relevant list of the money various reps have received from groups supporting and opposing the bill: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/112-h3261/money
