There was a lady named Rosa Parks who used it to great effect some time ago. Whether filling out a form (that i personally consider to be an over-reaching of government powers) in a less-than-completely-truthful manner could be equated with "civil disobedience" is a matter of opinion, in my opinion.

Let's be careful with such comparisons. Some folks would consider them disingenuous at best, incredibly tasteless at worst.
I had a guy once tell me that Florida's requirement to conceal a gun was equal to Anne Frank hiding in the attic. Those sorts of things don't make us many friends in the mainstream arena.
Now, in Ms. Park's time, people were denied rights and had no real recourse. We do have recourse in matters related to the 4473. As I mentioned before, we can propose and support legislation, and we can bring court challenges.
Nothing on the 4473 says I can't use the same water fountain, ride the same bus or hold the same job as someone else.
