No. Because I do not confuse consumerism with political action. Time spent moving domains from Godaddy in hopes of some indirect impact on SOPA would be better spent upon swaying my congressional representatives directly...despite the popular wisdom, they represent me within our political system, not various corporations.
To put it another way, moving domains as a way of expressing displeasure over SOPA legitimates the very logic which created it; that internet users in the US are merely consumers, not citizens. Move your domain day id premised on the idea that consumer choices are our most effective political act and accepting that premise is done at the peril of losing our legitimate political power.

The basic premise is to deny capital to the companies whose policies you oppose.
In a system where economics and politics so thoroughly mix, I can't see how you can draw such a line as the one you claim to draw. It would make you indistinguishable from an uninformed buyer. And essentially that's what you're saying: you make purchases as if you had no information as to how the money might be used, even when you know it may be applied to goals that you feel would limit your freedom (or however a person might phrase this.) Your only concern when making a purchase is getting the best value.
Moreover, registering a domain is hardly "consumerism", unless you want to conflate the term with any act of purchasing.
What about non-U.S. citizens who will be affected by SOPA and do not have a congressional representative to lobby? This boycott is much larger than you seem to think - and, because of its global scope, should be given more thoughts.
