A poster on another forum had the following idea for making our voices heard in the halls of government.
After today's so-called boycott, I was wondering what those who oppose illegal immigration could do in response. Unfortunately, a letter writing campaign probably would not garner the media coverage that a bunch of flag-waving illegals marching in the street do. Also, I am starting to lose faith that letters maybe don't send enough of a signal to our elected officials anyways.

So here is an idea. What if, in addition to a letter writing campaign, all hard working tax paying Americans who oppose illegal immigration simply changed their income tax exemptions on their W4 so that the federal and state governments receive no tax revenue for the month of July. If enough people do the same, could we effect a significant enough interruption in the .gov's cash flow that they might sit up and listen to the will of the people? If our elected officials continue to ignore the will of the people, continue the tax boycott for another month. In addition, maybe we could then donate some of the $$ normally withheld to the minuteman border fence project or some other anti-illegal immigration movement.

The advantages of this is it would allow us to send a strong signal well before the upcomming congressional elections. Second, it is a relatively easy thing to do for those who cannot take of a day to attend a protest or a march and lastly would hopefully send a signal that would last an entire month rather than a single day.

Of course we would end up owing a significant amount come next Apr 15 along with potential tax penalties, but that is something I would be willing to incur.

Any thoughts if this might be a worthy method of protest? If so, how could we get something like this co-ordinated on a large enough scale by July to be effective?

I think its a great idea. I've manipulated my withholdings in a like fashion in the past. Thoughts?
