5. I hope you can make it..
I'm doing my best to make it, too. I don't know if my vehicle will make it without doing a repair first. It's ok for getting me around town right now, but I don't know if I want to set out on a road trip with it. At least around here, I can get it home if something happens.

It would be nice if I could find a Chattanooga or Knoxville area DUer that was going and split the cost...

Peace,

Ghost

8. I think the message is very short and simple...
Stop these Wars!

How much shorter, and more direct, could it be?

:hi:

10. Be prepared to escort the Save Mumbai, Make Pot Legal, Keep your Votes off my Ovaries
etc. groups on target or out of the rally. We have a cohesive message problem.

11. Judging by the response to this thread...
Well, actually the lack of response.. the message seems to be that the wars are ok now because we have a Dem President.

Interesting, ain't it?

:hi:

14. That would be too easy
I've seen this phenom. way too much. An idea for a march gets brought up time and again and then poof, the magical "something" happens and a WTO or Cindy in Crawford protest or Wisconsin. The movement is spontaneous and unpredictable.

12. That's "Free MUMIA!"
:rofl:

Trust me, the American corporations have done more than enough to save Mumbai.

My oops. What I was trying to say is that we have trouble with message control.
