If Conyers and other Dem leaders asked us to march with them...
how many could we get?

Marches on D.C. have been proposed in the past, but nothing has ever materialized. If a prominent Dem leader asked for our support, would it make a difference?

1. I did check on flights...
I live in Nevada - it would cost me about $900 total for three days...

I might do it if I knew alot of people would be there.

2. we need plenty of notice
...so that we may take a couple of days vacation from work. 2-3 weeks notice isn't good enough, not enough time to successfully promote it either - at least a month. And do it when everyone in DC is working, not on vacation themselves - like Septemeber. my 2 cents.

3. A march that could lead to impeachment? I would hope a
helluva lot!! I know I'd go.

It depends on what the march was about and the hoped for outcome.

4. We Need A Few Friendly Get Togethers...
I've long looked forward to joining one million of my fellow brothers and sisters on the National Mall to show this regime and the world we are here and we will be heard.

I'd also love to see a little get together at CNNServative Center in Atlanta. Let's see if 100,000 of us can get the tour and let them see we're watching them...closely!

We need to make our causes seen...and create an atmosphere where more can join us and speak out. Making it fun would be a plus, too.

Cheers!

5. I would try my dead-level best to get there with a little notice.
My offspring are out of school so it would be easier for me now, but driving time and the time to find a place to stay would take a little time.

6. Same here. Summer means more flexibility
If it looks promising, I would make every effort to go.

7. I live in Northern Virginia, and I'm going - with my sign - whether
Conyers wants me or not.

Let's have a spontaneous demonstration - no organization, no permit, no porta-johns, just true patriots showing up to protest what these traitors are doing to our country. What do you think?

8. A rally or march of some kind is being planned - surround the WH
I am going to see if I can get off work to go - fly, Amtrak, or drive.

10. Do it in August and I can be there.
Otherwise, I can't. EARLY August because my son starts school late that month. ;)
