People... this is an exciting and historic moment. Lets top it off with a
strong protest message tonight by doing the Blackout Protest!

At 9:00pm eastern standard time we should cut out the power in our homes and offices for just two minutes and then put it back on at 9:02 pm which creates a strong surge on the grid. It is symbolic and if enough do this it WILL have a significant effect which can not be ignored by the powers that be!!!!

12. Yes and it is manageble in that we will get more to participate this
way. It is the surge at 9:02 that is the main goal. It will serve as a symbolic message that we are shining a light on fraWd and will hopefully gain MSM attention too (doubt that but it would be good if so).
