I am happy with the "One Nation" rally

[thewiseguy]

It is good to see the people turnout and rally for a cause. That is the beauty of an open society. I think we should rather focus on the demands of those who rallied today rather getting caught up on the size and comparing it to Beck's event.

If you want my personal opinion and judging off the pictures, I would say that Beck's rally was perhaps slightly larger.

In any event rallies alone will not bring about change. Hopefully this administration will start listening more to their base rather than disenfranchising them.

1. looks like he corwd is dwindling cuz they don't have a show closing headliner maybe nt

2. Haven't Seen Any Pictures... But No Matter, I'm Finding This Rally To

be what some might call a "barn burner, call to action." And as one who has been so very cynical for so long, I am happily surprised to see this FINALLY happening!

But ONE RALLY does not a country make! We NEED our leaders, who work for us, to hear "we the people" and get THE MESSAGE that so many are sending and speaking out about!

I think this RALLY is one of the better I've seen in a very long time, but will it stand for enough time to make A REAL DIFFERENCE? Only if those D.C. Elites & the BIG GREEDY Corporatist are listening. But THAT is the ROAD BLOCK!

Are THEY LISTENING??

18. Perhaps This Is The Re-Awakening Of A Sleeping Giant "We The People!"

Maybe not as many as wished, but SOMETHING has started which is what I've been looking for and wanting to see for many years now!

"We" were silenced by MSM and too, too many BIG WIGS, and too, too many FORGOT about us, so we just sat at our PC's and griped!

I don'
I can only make a WISH that this will be what it will take for us as a Nation to regroup and FIGHT LIKE HELL again!

Enough of Tiger Woods, Paris Hilton and the latest hot personality that gets in hot water! We NEED to think of the people of this country who are actually the ones living WITHOUT HOPE!!

4. The speeches are earnest but boilerplate and..... well, dull.

I planned to attend but in the end couldn't drive down. Watched a while on CSPAN.

Thanks and honors to those who made the trip.

7. With the exceptions of Sharpton and Trumka, I'll have to agree. n/t

11. Thanks. I expected to get hammered for that observation...

.... especially since I didn't go myself and others did.

But it is what it is.

Hopefully folks will file it under "constructive criticism".
