11 Days From Now There Will Be An Antiwar March On Washington - anybody gonna show up? |
|
Will this 'antiwar march' be the same sort of dud the last several attempts at a show of public concern have been or will people turn out in mass to demonstrate to our Representatives and the nation that the people are serious?

4. No. I might join something on the left coast, |
|
if it didn't cost too much to get there. I haven't had a paycheck since June, and won't get one until October. The budget never has any extra in it for travel, even when the checks roll in every month.

6. My daughter and I are. |
|
She is 17 and very excited to be going. We are marching for my brother, an officer in the chaos they call Iraq, who cannot speak for himself. We are marching for my niece and nephews who live every day terrified that daddy won't come home. For my sister-in-law who fears seeing a Navy officers walking to her door.
There is a special place in hell for * and others like him.
