Not enough people would see/hear about this grassroots action to make enough impact for politicians to care or take notice.

And how do you convince the 'little people' barely scraping by on subsistent wages to voluntarily lose a day's pay in a hopeless effort to get noticed by politicians?

Don't get me wrong - I think a revolution *could* be a good thing - and may very well be needed at this stage.

But - the media is controlled by big corporations and politicians. And the media would be needed to disseminate the call to arms (so to speak) to enough of the masses to take action.
