Those who oppose this legislation should boycott all organizations which support it, including all mainstream media, retailers, banks, investment companies, unions, etc.

A million people show up in Washington and the media ignores it. Maybe the organizers of these marchers should rethink that strategy.

I suggest that those who love freedom march in New York City right on the doorsteps of the major news centers. Maybe they should put half a million people in the driveways of the CEOs of the advertising sponsors.

When the Berlin Wall fell the first sites secured by the freedom fighters were the TV and radio stations. The Pro-Lifers who get a million marchers to Washington every year and the Tea Partiers could learn a lesson from that.

You are probably right about targeted boycotts and demonstrations. It is clear the politicians are not responding to basic common sense so they are a lost cause. Whatever we do, the effect should be catastrophic on the target in the same manner the government is catastrophically affecting our lives. With more than half the country opposed to this monstrosity, some planned retaliation ought to get someone’s attention. Will the alphabet networks cover it? Certainly not in the way we would hope. Look how they have caricatured The Tea Party. But getting in the face of their major sponsors, now that is something which could have an immediate affect, especially if the demonstrations were coupled with expectations laid on the sponsors to use their influence with the networks.

Clearly we need to act decisively and clearly to express our outrage at this incursion into our freedoms.
