Route of March?
I was looking out on the UFPJ site to try to figure out what the march route would be. My husband works at the Department of Energy, and NATURALLY, he has to go down into DC to do a monthly computer security scan on the 24th. He's trying to figure out how close it's going to come to the DoE building around L'Enfant Plaza area. Is there any map of the march route on-line? Thanks!

1. Surround the White House?
From WaPo: Police Fortify Numbers for War Protests


Demonstration Will Be the First Since the District Passed Arrest Law

D.C. police have canceled days off and are planning to deploy several hundred officers during an antiwar demonstration next weekend that will include a march near the White House, but officials said they expect no trouble.

Saturday's rally, part of a weekend of protests and counter-protests, will be the first demonstration allowed to surround the White House in more than a decade. It is the first major rally to occur since a D.C. law that requires police to give clear warnings before arresting demonstrators took effect.

Passed in response to the much-criticized mass arrests of protesters at a downtown park in 2002, the law also restricts the use of police lines to contain nonviolent demonstrators and requires that police wear clearly identifiable badge numbers. Police also may not stop spontaneous rallies -- as long as such incidents do not clog sidewalks or violate traffic laws -- by arresting demonstrators for protesting without a permit.

3. Yikes!
I hope it is more of a saunter than a march. I'm not sure my old bones can make that trek. I got some steroids from my Dr - just to make the trip.

I want to bug out sometime during the day and hit the shops near DuPont circle sometime too. Haven't been that way in years.

4. You won't be sauntering alone :)
Wasn't sure about these ole bones here, either. Will be armed with Ben Gay wraps for my knees, a change of shoes, a water bottle to pour over my head from time to time lol
