7. Strikes are very effective and we've seen a few this past year even

when there are no Unions allowed, like Walmart eg. They pretty much immunized themselves, they thought from having to deal with their workers going on strike since they are threatened with being fired if they do. But that didn't stop them this time. I'm sure they are taking steps to try to prevent it happening again. They can't fire everyone so the more who join the better.

I would love to see a nationwide strike shutting down transportation etc every time Congress tries to pass some POS bill or takes away Unemployment benefits, or even considers something like the TPP.

They should be terrified each time they contemplate any of their shenanigans for the Corporations, that the people will shut down the country.

Other than that, I can't think of anything that would be really effective and get the attention of the American people.
