Kickstarter (and similar) already implement the obvious way around the deadlock: get people to agree to act conditional on getting a certain minimum number to so agree. That way, the first person to make the agreement has nothing to lose if no one else signs up, so they can sign up and thus provide the momentum to get other people to.

posting NSL letters at the same time is not the right solution, IMO. it targets a single issue in a system that is rife with corruption. they'll pull some fix like they did with NSA tapping phones, just have someone else be the bad guy (in that case having phone providers tap everything). the solution needs to be much larger scale. My proposal would be to coordinate via the Internet a giant hooky day. just stop going to our jobs. you know, those things that are the life blood of the whole shit show? have some form letter that people email in as their excuse: Hey $BOSS, In solidarity with blah blah blah I'll not be returning to my job until government pays attention to the demands of its people. Here are some (legit) sources with poll data highlighting the issues most pressing to the American public. Here's historical data about how Congress has been passing legislation that is in effect, contrary to those concerns. Until this incongruity is addressed, I'll be working with my friends, family, and neighbors directly to address the issues ourselves. Regretfully this means I won't have time to give a rats ass about my mindless role at your useless company. Signed, Employee Serial #

Might not be good enough. In this case, if there's even a slight chance for that agreement to leak out with the list of signatories, those companies that signed have a lot to lose. Such an agreement would need to be verbal. Kickstarter doesn't have this problem.
