Aside from the already suggested Tor, GnuPG is cool for mail (though it
will not obfuscate who is talking to who, it will obfuscate what is
said; something like HushMail + Tor will be pretty secure and easy to
set up, if you are willing to trust the HushMail people); more esoteric
solutions exist.
Obfuscating phone calls is nontrivial; in fact, using an OpenPGP
implementation (GnuPG, PGP) is pretty nontrivial unless you only deal
with people who are both somewhat technically competent and willing to
spend an hour or so to protect their privacy.
Publicly solliciting for proxies, though, is likely to be Googleable for
years. And might not produce the best possible antecedents.
And do not forget the other question of trust - the administrator of the
proxy is likely to be held responsible if you do anything nasty (whether
this holds up in court is another question, but still...)
