Rather than trying to do such a thing in many places nationally, I would
suggest doing such a thing in targetted small and specific geographies
where local organization is sufficient to make it work with considerable
impact. For example, if even 1000 people in Brooklyn alone decided the
same day they wanted their refund and filed a complaint, I think that
would have far more impact than 1100 scattered and diluted accross the
whole country.

Rather than try and duplicate the failure (regardless of intentions) that resulted from the original event, I belive it makes sense to change both the scope and the battlefield by taking this event to court rooms all over the world. I am suggesting that WRDII be known as the day in which all persons who are seeking a refund, go to their local court house and file a small claims suit against the OEM who has refused their request for a refund. I myself will (of course) commit myself to following through on this on the selected day and will do my best to promote the concept throughout our community so that others pursue litigation in their local area. Assuming the community picks up on this idea and chooses to support it, I believe this is the most logical course of action we can take in order to establish a clear and firm stance against this issue !
