We just got back from the march in DC - ask us ANYTHING!!!

[LynneSin]

We have Ramsey, GOPisEvil, fudge stripe cookays and myself here at our hotel drinking champayney (like the Continental) and trying to find news coverage of the 1.25million folks who attended the march.

Ask us any questions we'll be happy to answer!!!

PS - Moby is staying in our hotel!!!!

[VelmaD]

1. Are you gonna...

try to find Moby's room and plant a big wet juicy kiss on him?

If so, I want pics?

[LynneSin]

5. I'm going to knock on his door and ask him....

.....IF HE'S A LESBIAN

Please send flowers to my hospital room !!!

[VelmaD]

6. You should take...

George with you. I bet Moby would love to have a picture taken with him. :-)

[redwitch]

2. do you feel totally wonderful?

Because I think you are! Wish I could have been there!

[LynneSin]

21. I'm a part of history

This is something that will be part of my life forever

I felt that the power of 40,000+ members of DUers were there with us marching. And we handed out a ton of DU bumperstickers so hopefully we'll expand to even more

[demnan]

3. I was there

sorry I missed you, but I don't drink anyway. It was a great march, wasn't it. I can hardly walk, but who cares!

[GOPisEvil]

We're in pain, too. But it was worth it!!!!

:bounce:

[kitkatrose]

[YellowRubberDuckie]

13. I watched on CSPAN...

I wish I could have been there so badly. The whole event was so great. And I totally love Tyne Daly so much more. And I loved Ani Defranco's poetry. Christine Lahti was great. I especially loved it when she asked, "Why are they so threatened by equal rights?" And someone in the front screamed "BECAUSE THEY'RE WEAK!" It was so great. I'm so jealous. But I'm glad my feet don't hurt. LOL You guys rock!

[belladonna]

16. I know you've all had a long day, but

If you're still gonna be in D.C. tomorrow morning, how about rounding up a dozen or so marchers and heading over to show your support for Sibel Edmonds? In case you haven't heard, Smirk and his evil minions are up to no good again... go give 'em hell if you can. :D

[GOPisEvil]

17. Where and when?

Hope you guys can make it, and good going today!! :)

[corporatewhore]

18. Did Y'all see some way cool radical cheerleaders

[LynneSin]

20. Yes, some of them posed for pictures with George W. Bush

Everyone posed with George W. Bush today!!!!

[Ramsey]

22. CNN is full of shite!

They said there were 300,000 people there. What crap! Over a million folks!

Our special guest, GW Bush, was the most photographed celebrity at the march!

[peacefreak]

23. I'm so proud of you guys.

I went in '92. It is such a powerful feeling to put yourself on that street & raise your voice to be heard. It's something that will stay with you forever. Rest your tootsies, drink a little more of that bubbly, & know that you took part in something that will be long remembered.

[cally]

24. I'm sooooo jealous

but I'm also ecstatic that you marched with so many others! Thanks for going and marching.

Did Vanessa Kerry speak and if so, what was her reception like?

[cally]

30. Three questions

Did Vanessa Kerry speak?

How did they manage signature gathering? Did it appear that most signed?

[GOPisEvil]

35. Don't know on VK...we didn't hear all the speeches.

Most people signed. The organizers were aggressively going through the crowd making sure we all signed up.

[Ramsey]

37. In answer

Vanessa Kerry was here, appeared to be hanging out with Hillary Clinton, but didn't speak as far as I know.

They did gather signatures, but I'd bet at least half the people didn't sign up. They only caught me at the very end, and only because I asked to sign.

[MountainLaurel]

25. How big was the DU delegation?

I didn't get downtown until 12:30 (we were running on Pagan Standard Time) and didn't get to locate the Evil DUers, but I certainly kept an eye out for the banner.

Also, what were your favorite signs, and what's this about everyone posing with George? Did you have a standup?

[LynneSin]

26. There were 30 folks in our group...

...and about 10 more that joined in either at the end or afterwards.

We have a George Bush standup - covered with very liberal stickers and other amusing things. Everyone wanted to pose with Bush

:bounce:

[youngred]

27. when do we get to see the pictures!

Great to meet you all!

[Pale Blue Dot]

31. Sounds great, guys.

I'm sorry I couldn't be there today. :-( Have a drink for me, OK?

[GOPisEvil]

39. Done! *hic*

[JohnKleeb]

33. was I as shy as you expected?

I was pretty shy eh.

[Ramsey]

38. Shy but adorable

That is the consensus in the room.

[Lizz612]

34. WHoooooo!

I just got back! I cannot thank you and GOPisEvil and all the rest of you for paying for Jess and my dinners. Seriously that was great. We never made it to an ATM, so we had no cash. Thank you over and over and over again.

Oh and MOBY!! Whoa, that was too cool. Jess says that the conversation at dinner was great. That was her first time in DC BTW, and she LOVED it to put it mildly!

And my voice is nearly gone from chanting "SHOW THEM WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!" when walking past the anti-choice people.

I'm running on 12 oz of coffee in case you couldn't tell....
:crazy:

[GOPisEvil]

40. It was our pleasure!!!

I can't wait for Kerry's Inauguration so we can party here again!!! :bounce"

[Pithlet]

36. I wish I could have gone.

I would have loved to have been there with you all. It must have been incredible. I'm stuck in conservative hell, here.

[jonnyblitz]

41. I'm home!

what a good day!! :hi:

[Amaya]

42. I was there....

Sorry I didn't meet up with ya. What a unbelievable day! :)

[TreasonousBastard]

43. I was there in spirit...

and I'll raise a glass of something with ya.

But, as I told you, I had my tickets for Greg Palast. Got to meet him, along with 300 other peaceniks, at the annual dinner.

Everyone regretted the scheduling, and wanted to be in DC, too.

[Lindacooks]

44. Congratulations!!

And thank you.

[ant]

46. sorry I missed you guys

I tried finding you but you weren't on their delegation list, and the people I asked didn't really know anything. Where were you?

Anyway, I'm so happy so many people turned out.

[MaineDem]

47. I just got home

My feet hurt, I'm exhausted but I'm ecstatic over the turnout at the march and at meeting you all, of course! We made history!!!

There were mostly college kids on my bus and I gave them a nudge about turning the enthusiasm they're taking home from the march into turnout at election in November. I had my DNC sign that said "Democrats March in April and VOTE in November". I handed out "Women for Kerry" stickers and they were all supportive.

I have very good feelings for November.

Anyhow, I hope you have a great few days in DC. Lynne, thank you greatly for all you did to organize this.
