I have to say I agree with HR Gibson - we don't want to fuel the pro-
censorship lobbyists by sending porn to people who don't want to receive 
it. I think we would be far better of emailing round a list of URLs that 
provide useful, interesting, educational information that is also likely 
to be filtered out. For example, the Reach Out suicide information site 
supported by JJJ that aims to help teenagers realise suicide is not a 
good idea; advice on contraception or other medical-related sites; 
certain political sites that use the word "anarchy" on their pages (this 
word is filtered out by the software that Alston supposedly recommends). 
There's a ton of sites out there that the pro-censorship lobbyists might 
not realise they're going to lose access to.

As for ISP's reactions to mass email protests, if you break the ISP's ToS 
it won't matter which email address you use - you can be tracked down by 
anyone who can read email headers and your ISP will then have to figure 
out which of its customers did the deed. (Which may not be as hard as it 
sounds.)
