DC: Deciding whether to go or not? Read this first! |
|
It is for my child that I march. It is for the future of this earth that I want to be a part of the "march that changes the world." What if democracy died tomorrow (it really did die Nov 2)? What if this was our LAST CHANCE to change what is happening? What if I don't go and wake up tomorrow to find the fears of today magnified 100 fold? I must risk the tear gas, pepper spray or whatever else they may use, if we are going to have a peaceful world for our future generations.
Yes, I am a bit apprehensive about going, but I am so looking forward to showing our strength in numbers. I will take the risks. I will march and proudly carry a sign. For my child, for your child, for your neighbors, for Katrina survivors and victims, for Iraq, for our troops, for Abu Ghraib victims and survivors, for Gitmo, for me, and for you.

And I'll see you there.
I'm pretty worried about what the bushCo criminals might be planning for us too, but I have the means to get there so I will be there.
Fear is absolutely the worst reason not to go.
See you at the Saturday night meetup! :patriot:

is not just happening in DC. This is national! Even in red states where the need for visible numbers is even greater.
