That 6,000,000 figure is probably just the size of an Email list, but they certainly have the wherewithal to bus large numbers of protesters to various events. In 2010 the media covered them compulsively. They got TV air time even when the number of protesters were outnumbered by reporters covering them. At least this time they'll have to cover us too.
