2. How does a march end greed?

Are there some specific plans to end greed behind the march?

5:30 p.m. on November 1st? It is getting dark and cold then. Why not have a march during the daylight hours?

4. How did a march end racial segregation?

How did a march end discrimination against women's right to vote?
How did a march end the Vietnam War?

You're right, I guess we should just sit at home.

6. "A" march didn't end racial segregation, MANY marches, MANY demostrations, MANY sit-ins....

...MANY protests, MANY speeches in Congress, etc. over a period of decades ended racial segregation.

The same thing for discrimination against women's right to vote, and the end of the Vietnam War.

8. You ignored most of what I asked you.

Marches to end segregation, to give women the vote, or to end the war in Viet Nam has some specifics about how to attain their goals. This march sounds like it is vague, with no plan behind it. You did not address that.

And the march is taking place late in the day. Why? You did not address that, either.

You don't seem to have a plan.

I can't tell you how many marches and vigils I have participated in over my lifetime. I ask questions about things first.

11. Odd... you then believe the only choices are a march or to sit down.

Seems pretty short-sighted to me, but I imagine a rationalization will be alleged very soon.

Bernie's ''Corporate Accountability and Democracy'' plan. The tour started off with a press conference in Iowa.

The March coordinates with the timing of the ''Iowa Democrats' Liberty and Justice Celebration'' and with the ''People's Celebration'' event hosted by Sanders. The ''People's Celebration'' is mobilizing supporters across Iowa for the events.
