Womens March - LARGEST IN US HISTORY!!!***
Wow! We are witnessing some incredible unity and solidarity from both men and women!!

This is so inspiring and impressive!!!

50% of all attendees are women UNDER 25. That shows some active and concerned young women.

Post inspiring quotes from speakers here!!

3. Where are Smirky and Laura?
Are they on vacation again at Camp David, or on vacation at the Pig Farm in Crawford, or on vacation at the Bush family Mansion in Maine? So many places to vacation, you know, to go AWOL, so to speak, while America needs read leadership.

4. Karen Hughs us on air with "since 911 we have learned to value life"
And nobody says abortion rights - the right of choice - of a women to control her own body - has what to do with terrorists and 911?

She - and the GOP - are getting a free ride - as usual - from our media.

11. Watching the coverage, I feel so happy.
I'm so glad that there are so many young people there and that women of color have been represented so well. This gives me hope.

I've had to fight back the tears several times. I wish I could be there.

12. I felt the same way. I wish I could have been there as well.
Imagine the number of other women and men saying the same thing.

We are making a difference!

13. Whore TV reporting maybe 100-200 attending??
It'll be interesting as usual to see their head count. Never all that high when the participants want Bush out of our lives for good.

14. Twentyofive--that's exactly the impression I got
Has there been any national news converage of this and any poiting out of the numbers. Honest to God, I was all bummed out because I thought that only a few hundred women bothered to attend and that just as many or more anti-abortion people were there. This is the most down playing and underplaying I have every witnessed. MY GOD--how dare these scum. Flood them all with e-mails. The bastards really are trying to make us believe that this movement is dying out for lack of interest.

17. It was indeed impressive
all around. The GW delegation was HUGE. I met a delegation from home which was big and the DUers I met up with were fan-fucking-tastic.

The Anti-Choicers were far outnumbered andmostly free of the usual bombast and invective. George Bush was the star and most photographed celeb at the march.


Plus I got to see Skinner with no shirt
