I truly believe that having eyes on an issue like this lets them know we are awake and paying attention. Possibly they could just be beta testing to see how aware we really are and if we are willing to act. An advantage they would be looking for is pushing some crap like this through when no one is watching. Despite all the distractions, people all over the world are looking at this. You are right that in the end it is we the people that are going to decide whether they pull this off or not.
