Is there anyone else ready and willing to march on Washington?

[anarchy1999]

I know I am.

For all the unemployed, the disenfranchised, and etc., are you ready yet to march on DC? We can all join with GrannyD and many others. I believe it is time to take a walk with many brooms and mops and clean it up. Anyone else interested or able to make the sacrifice? Marches have taken place before, but I believe it is crucial now. We can't afford to wait to vote Bush out. I believe we need to take to the streets now. And not just on one day (ie, March 20th, we'll just be dismissed again as another "focus group").

Sorry for the rant, I apologize now for offending anyone.

1. Yes!

I've been ready for quite some time.

2. Works for me...

If I can manage to get a few days off work and talk Michael into going. ;-)

I'd think a good time would be right before the election... maybe Sept. or October would be good...

Or how about 4th of July (if we could stand the heat) to show that REAL PATRIOTS oppose a totalitarian state?

3. name the date,

I'm willing

4. If the pigs try to steal the election...

I'll be making my way up there. Until then, I've got family obligations to see to.

7. I'm confused, March 20 is just around the corner!

why not get involved, and join with the Veterans and ohers?

from G_j's thread:

**MARCH 20 AROUND THE UNITED STATES
Crawford, Texas; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Long Beach, California; Tallahassee, Florida: These are just a few of the dozens of communities large and small around the United States where March 20 events are already planned.
Now is the time to plan your community's involvement in this global day of action. We in the United States have a special responsibility to take to the streets on the one-year anniversary of the Iraq War to show the depth of U.S. opposition to the Bush Administration's policies of war and occupation.
Join the day of action! List your community's event on the United for Peace and Justice website at: http://www.unitedforpeace.org/calendar_gxinput.php

Visit our website for leaflets that can be adapted for use in any community planning a March 20 event: http://www.unitedforpeace.org/mar20

**MILITARY FAMILIES AND VETERANS TO RALLY AT FT. BRAGG On March 20th, as the world once again says NO! to war, military families and veterans of the military will take center stage in Fayetteville, North Carolina – the home of Fort Bragg -- as the North Carolina Coalition for Peace and Justice demands that the United States government provide REAL support for G.I.'s and other military personnel by bringing them home now.

This rally will draw attention to the stop-loss policy that keeps personnel in the service beyond the time that they originally committed to, inadequate psychological and emotional services for military personnel and their families, and other key issues of interest to military families and veterans. It will also demand that the government commit billions to education and the creation of jobs, not war and occupations.

JOINT STATEMENT BETWEEN MARCH 20th MOBILIZING COMMITTEE AND MARCH 20th NATIONAL COALITION CONCERNING NEW YORK CITY MARCH AND RALLY
On March 20th, the one year anniversary of the U.S. war against Iraq, a Global Day of Action will bring hundreds of thousands of people into the streets in cities around the world. In New York City the March 20th Mobilizing Committee and the March 20th National Coalition are organizing a unified demonstration opposing the criminal and empire-building policies of the Bush administration and their impact abroad and at home. We will march for an end to the U.S. occupation and corporate control of Iraq and to bring the troops home now. We will march for an end to the occupation of Palestine. We will march to fund human needs, restore cuts in social programs and against the ever-expanding attacks on all immigrants, labor rights and everyone's civil liberties - and we will stand united against racism here and abroad. We represent diverse communities and organizations opposed to the Bush Administration policies for many reasons, but on March 20th we will march together. By working! together our two coalitions are confident we will mobilize a massive turnout on March 20th and send a strong, clear message.

8. I made one call and I have my first backer.

This is simple, we can't afford to be silent any longer. We can start marching now. We can go to DC, we can go to Crawford, to San Fran, Austin, San Antonio (2nd largest gov't city in the nation, just check out the stats on this city, scary, plus the gov are hiding many wounded there). The time is now and we can bring our troops home, and re-invest in this nation. This is a government, by the people, for the people, of the people. It is plain and simple, we all are citizens. If we quit, it is our fault. WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY?
When will we stand up and say enough?
