Involvement with SOPA as a Lobbyist

Should this section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Dodd#Post-senatorial_career include his recent forays with promoting SOPA for industry?

For example he's been caught lying for the MPAA here: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111214/04100017081/chris-dodd-resorting-to-outright-lying-desperate-attempt-to-get-sopa-passed.shtml

Yes, clearly, probably with mention of his voting record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.12.110 (talk) 10:10, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Salon's Greenwald spoke for many in calling Dodd's SOPA pony show "base, corrupted subservience to industry." http://www.courant.com/news/opinion/hc-op-mcenroe-dodds-fall-to-movie-industry-shill-0-20120122,0,3320032.column NO SOPA (talk) 06:27, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is probably worth a mention where Dodd threatens to pull campaign finance funding to Obama and other politicians opposed. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/01/19/exclusive-hollywood-lobbyist-threatens-to-cut-off-obama-2012-money-over-anti/ --Why is pizza so good?

He also continues to cite 2.2 million as the number of jobs Hollywood employs, which is being disputed as inflated.

This article opens "Chris Dodd is an American lawyer..." Shouldn't this be "Chris Dodd is a douchbag..."? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.115.78 (talk) 22:27, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
