Believe it or not those kind of stunts appeal directly to the conscience of the industry players and politicians who can be shamed by them. it worked during the VN war protests, and it worked to bring international pressure against south african apartheid. they have worked many times in Europe to change the Nuclear policy of NATO member states. they work.

Maybe we can continue to increase the pressure from the grass roots. Just FYI, the Democratic Party at my county-level will be having a vote tomorrow to officially endorse a public option.
