Is there time to march on Congress this week? |
|
I'm not sure of organizational logistics, but a call to arms seems appropriate in the form of loud voices in the streets.

1. Maybe folks that are close to DC........ |
|
That's probably what it will take though. Something not only big, but spontaneous. And NOT polite.

4. Yep, exactly! Letters and phone calls help, but we have a lot of outright |
|
asses in DC today, and many others in political offices with too much power, too much greed, and not much accountability. It's probably going to take a mass demonstration in DC to get their attention. Hopefully more people will pay attention to their vote next time around.

2. Logistically, it would be difficult to get a lot of people there. Easier would be petitioning |
|
at your rep's and Senator's local offices. There was a gathering today at Pelosi's office in San Francisco.

....it's either Union Station, or Capitol South.
The rest is just logistics.

5. A national Education rally will be thre from Thur-Sun, with a march Sat, I believe. |
|
There are also local rallies at state capitals for Public Education.
I'm sure the teachers wouldn't mind a few other issues along for the ride.
See my sig.
