the ESC button is your friend today. if you wanna see a wikipedia page today, press ESC mindlessly while the page is loading. This should stop the redirecting.
And I'm disappointed that there's no one place people can click and register their voice against SOPA and PIPA. Yes I can tweet and facebook but what if I don't have those. Voices can't be too distributed I guess.

http://www.sopastrike.com/ has █████ resources, but the most effective protesting will have to come from US citizens telling Congress to █████

Thanks for the http://www.sopastrike.com link, Mark. It seems their (nginx) server is getting too much hits at this moment. But it's good to know there's a easy way for people to easily send their voice to the Congress.
btw, the sopastrike.com site is created by the group fightforthefuture.org , which is using the service from a Canadian company contactprivacy.com to hide its contact info. just to give an idea.

And after some more digging, found another easy way (for US people) to voice against SOPA
https://blacklists.eff.org/
from the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

sorry, i was wrong. Wikipedia does provide a (better) way to voice.
after sharing on G+, the page will ask for your zip.
and after entering the zip, it'll provide the info of the elected representative for the area.
depending on how 'online/social' these officials are, their contact info include their phone no, email, and twitter, etc.

There is also the Avaaz petition: http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_the_internet/

Thanks Mary - finally a way for non-US citizens to directly participate.

And here's another: a global petition to the Obama administration to veto SOPA:
