Canadians Organizing a Rally For Net Neutrality

taylortbb writes "Canadians are fighting back against Bell Canada's traffic shaping (recentlly discussed by Slashdot here and here) by organizing a rally in support of network neutrality. The rally is being backed by a long list of organizations including Google, two major political parties, three ISPs, and two major unions. It's set for Tuesday at 11:30am on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The only question that remains is, will the government listen?"

Any elected government by its very nature cannot work for the People who elected it, IF the elected gets their election funding from non-voters.
This rally WILL fail. I can bet on it. Not Because the corporates will win, etc., (which is all true), BUT the nature of this rally is too diffuse.
You guys need to follow the Blitzkreig approach: Concentrate all your voting power, financing campaigns, etc., to one or two important senators who stand to lose a lot if they lose the election (especially the ministers). Target them like hell, conduct HUGE rallies in their hometown [only], campaign for them to support Net Neutrality in their precincts, fund adverts for the same in the constituency. Once such huge firepower is directed to a short place, you will the Maginot Line breaking down.

This is what Blitzkreig was all about: Concentration of Armor at a small point, to enable a breakthrough and infantry follows the gap.
Apply the same principle, and within a year once you conduct about 5 rallies changing ALL 5 ministers/MPs voting, you will see the rest falling in line.
Good Luck
