Protest the Protesters

Bigwig has a great idea for a counter-protest against yesterday's "virtual march" foolishness.

If you want to phone in a protest, you should target organizations that can't hand you off to a drone. You want an office without a lot of money, or the multiple phone lines and staffers that come with access to lots of money. You want an office run on a wing and a prayer, one where tying up a staff member on the phone keeps them from doing work more important to the mission of the organization.

You want to call a protest movement.

He's even listed a few relevant phone numbers to get you started.

Excellent.

UPDATE: Looks like the idea is catching on.

Let all voices be heard. Payback is a bitch, isn't it?

Better yet, call these groups and ask them to send you materials on their group and its mission. Pretend to be a reporter, or just someone who believes in their cause.

The real question then becomes: How much of their money and supplies will they waste before they catch on? Hopefully, if enough people did this, these groups wouldn't have the time *or* money to organize protests on the street or the web.

Keith you're so evil...that's why I like you.

Good idea Adam, hadn't thought of that.
