Like junk mail, phone books are now just a means of taking money from consumers and generating profit for few and tremendous amounts of waste for all.
I do not agree, however, that phone books are useless. Wait until you need to place a call when the high speed cable or power goes out. Also, not everyone is an Internet-savvy 20/30-something. Many people from older generations still rely on them.
But still, considering the other avenues available now, it should be an opt-in, not an opt-out.
My only suggestion is to note in your original post that this is a petition to opt-out, and is in no way binding (such as the national do not call registry).
