Send a Message to the DOJ

It's pretty common knowledge by now that the Department of Justice is trying to get a list of what people are using as search terms from Google. Right now, Google is putting up resistance, but I figure it's only a matter of time before the DOJ gets its way.

I figure this is actually an opportunity to send a message to the DOJ.

We know they will be looking at popular search terms and trying to get meaning from them. At this time, they are NOT looking for individual information. This means they will actually read ANY sufficiently popular search term. So, if a decent sized group sends the same search to google often enough, it will be read by the DOJ! This basically turns Google into a "suggestion" box for the DOJ.

I propose getting as many people to send a search term to Google as possible. I thought of a few, but I'm more than willing to consider others! Here's what I came up with so far:

"DOJ: Ever hear of the Fourth Amendment?"
"STOP INVADING MY PRIVACY!"
"Alberto R. Gonzales can Kiss My @$$"
"How Many DOJ Employees Does It Take to Change A Light Bulb?"

Don't forget to include the quotes - you probably don't care about the actual results - the important thing is to have the same thing put in each time.

So, Any opinions on what to "search" for?
