13. How much grease will the squeaky wheel need?

I wholeheartedly agree. I think online boycotts would send a message, and if it could be coupled with a "Buy Nothing" day it might get some attention. I know such things have been organized before, but how to access? No se. I know how to make a petition, but not how to make an organized demonstration.

If we had sympathetic techies working on it, we could disrupt certain net feeds and cause big business havoc. China has already demonstrated it's ability to divert US net traffic to their own servers. If they can do it, then we'd probably better do it too and pretty quick.

How do you go about gathering like-minded technical people?
