I'm living in Switzerland. Some colleagues of mine had the same question in mind and they simply started a petition. There were about 1500 to 2000 signatures collected in one or two weeks!
The collected signatures were sent to the delegates of Switzerland at the European Patent Organisation. We tried to influence them to vote against software patents. That's what you can do.
The vote will take place in the European Patent Organisation (EPO) which has more members than the European Union (namely Switzerland, Cyprus and Monaco and maybe others).

We collected about 1500 votes against software patents in less than two weeks! But still, if you want to help: sign the petition.
