Its hard to build a large protest using just reddit. You really need large organizations to get behind you, MoveOn, Unions, A.N.S.W.E.R, but all of these groups are of course very quiet because its a democrat in the white house doing this.
If Romney or Bush were in charge, I think the protests would be much greater.
It wasn't just Reddit, of course, and obviously it had a couple of fairly well-known media personalities promoting it but the majority of the organizing and attendees I saw was because of Reddit.

If those groups don't hop on, your just not going to have a big in-person protest.
And the eff is the only group I have seen promoting this
Judging from the comments on the subreddit, it's not something I want to get my family involved with anyway. There's an unfortunte lack of serious effort here.
