What happened to the talk of a TV strike?
Can't they think up a reason that is not just sympathetic which I understand to be unlawful. WTF ever. What they did in Wisconsin was unlawful too. I say fuck it. TV strike!

1. To actually hurt them, america has to turn in their cable boxes and live with it for awhile.

But they won't. Many of my friends already got rid of cable and landline. only have internet and cell phone. they say there lives seem more enriched. They have more time to read, walk, etc.

SCREW THE BOX

2. I'm among them.
I've already dumped cable TV, the only reason we have land-line at all is because Comcast offered a cheaper deal with it to get our Internet, but I never use it - I just use my cell-phone.

3. I wouldn't be listening to Michael Moore on Rachel Madow, but they'll get a bullhorn. I'm going to
order one tonight, one with a siren. I borrowed one once or twice, but I think I need my own!

6. I ditched my TV
and I am 100% more informed than I was when I relied on radio and television for news. I also don't feel the need for consumerism, either.

9. You save money on this protest! Cable is expensive! Going to rallies costs money.
Make a date
