Anyone from Iowa planning on attending the protest in DC?

I'm going if I can just get the boss to approve Saturday off...

1. I'd love to go

I will know early next week if I will be able to get away from work and have the money to go. I have seen online that there are buses going from Iowa City, Des Moines, and the Quad Cities. I think there was a thread here on that.

Send me a PM if you got any plans set.

2. Wow, I'm interested in more info on busses leaving from Des Moines...

...that might be fun.

I flew to DC last time and I really hated flying.

3. There is a PDA group in Des Moines

organizing a bus to travel out for that event as well. This bus going to D.C. from Des Moines has 20 empty seats -- will sleep on the bus -- leaving DSM Friday, returning Sunday. They think they could stop in Iowa City for some people (that's where I'd get on).

Interested parties contact Iowa State PDA Coordinator Kathleen Ferguson, [e-mail]

6. Got the time off!

And some good friends who can't make it are sponsoring my charter.

DC or Bust!

5. Trying to get one together here in Davenport.

I can't remember all the details at the moment (hell I can't remember what I had for supper last night), but the website to look at for details is www.qcprogressiveaction.org
