What we need is a national talk show host/comedian belittling the governments plan.

Good Idea, someone like george carlin, maybe we can get frank zappa to speak out on it, It would reach a section of the population that would normally not be reached, he has challenged Big Government before on free speack issues (in the music industry), he's not a comedian but he would be effective. A real good person to get would be Lilly Tomlin!! She could definately get exposure with her Ernestine the Operator charecter. I think her political orientation would support our cause. Although, if you really want to be effective, you should win over Bob Hope; a few wise cracks from him on some tv special and the Clipper would be dead before morning :)
