Why isn't there a massive anti-war protest in DC?
Why are we gnashing our teeth instead of staging a MASSIVE anti-war protest in Washington, DC?

I mean, if two or three million people clogged the mall in Washington, DC, don't you think the illegitimate Bush administration would be forced into the Nixonesque position of permanent defensiveness? Not even the obfuscations of the MSM could protect him.

Why aren't we doing this?

Why aren't we ORGANIZING?

I inderstand that we are outclassed by the Republiscum when it comes to lockstep party allegiance Nazism, but my God, when are we going to take to the streets and show these right-wing fascists that enough is ENOUGH?

3. Right now we're in the middle of an oppressive "heat wave"
Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 06:10 PM by ElectroPrincess
but hey, there's thousands of people who will converge in any major city when the call goes out to protest.

On Edit: I apologize to those troops serving in Iraq for complaining about this "little league" heat wave in D.C. Damn, we're spoiled here in "The World." I heard you are enduring 100+ degree Fahrenheit temperatures. :blush:

6. I remembered the Republican Convention when we had all those
protests and walks, so many people, so little press coverage.

9. They have psyops the masses into thinking it would be "unholy"
to protest this war. The war has been sold as a bizarre twisted fantasy of redemption through the extermination of "bad arab" people. Come out against it in public and you face a community of brainwashed jingoists with big problems - huge mortgages. They have to "believe" because they have no place left to turn.
