Protest on Sunday Dec. 12???
Does anyone know anything about whether this is happening in my state, Texas? When I go to the website and check, nothing is shown for Texas. I'll bring a group from Dallas if it's on.

SUNDAY, DEC. 12, IN ALL STATE CAPITOLS:
Protest in all State capitols on Sun., Dec. 12, at noon: http://www.51capitalmarch.com/

1. We need to be in OHIO on Dec 12 in big numbers
Blackwell and MendacityCentral are trying to outrun the clock, sabotage the recount.

The Ohio Electors meet on 12/13. We need to flood Columbus on 12/12. Anyone working on this? The Greens and others will have people there already. MoveOn, don't know who else. But the point is, Blackwell and the Junta will try to force the Electors to vote no matter what. We can't let that happen.

Ideas?

I'm new to DU, btw.

3. I can't go either but
1) We can find out groups that are going and support them & 2) Contact groups already on the ground, and ask what is needed.

4. Running into the same problem in Seattle, WA
Anyone I can convince to go in the first place, won't make it all the way down to Olympia. I suggest getting things going at the same time at local news stations, if you can't make it to your capital.

I'm still planning on the 12th, whether in Olympia or Seattle. There's also a protest on the 4th in OH, and one on the 11th somewhere.

5. I am trying to find out about Texas too. I live in Harris County
I am wondering if there will be protesters going to Austin. I am still checking. I would like to go. I though the 51 capital thing is a good idea. I can't make it to Ohio, though I wish I could.

7. Red Hands and hot sun
Great idea - I hope it's chilly here in Florida so my hands don't sweat ;)

Seriously, I will bring them. I got some of those $1.00/pair, one size fits all stretchies in red.

Who else here is going?

8. an FYI about Columbus Ohio on December 12
Ohio State University is holding its winter graduation ceremony that day (probably early in the day). i am planning to attend the rally here in columbus on saturday dec 4, but i have 3 family members graduating on dec 12 and i have to attend that ceremony.
winter graduation is much smaller than the one in the spring, but it's still fairly huge.
i imagine there will be many people who won't be able to make it to the protest on dec 12 because of this

:eyes:
