There needs to be a mother-of-all protest marches on D.C. re. economic policy/justice
Like a million people, from all walks of life, spontaneously marching on Capitol Hill to protest against a bought-and-paid-for White House and Congress, economic policies tailored specifically for fat cats, the off-shoring of American jobs, the corporate media -- just the whole damn thing.

The entire corrupt system needs to be flushed down the toilet.

(My semi-annual vague, rambling rant :rant: )

1. Protest marches don't work anymore since they are never covered on TV.
It's like they never happened. The revolution will not be televised. I know, I know, it is a disgrace.

2. Agreed.
The Corporate media would never show it, though.

3. Half a million democrats
half a million republicans. All of them angry and in Washington at the same time. The riots alone would make front page news.

4. If somebody is cool with giving us a ride, we're in.
We don't have a car, or money for a bus, but if some kind Dem wants to stop off in West Virginia and pick us up on the way, there are two DU'ers here who'd gladly go.

:dem:

5. We should have shuttle busses picking up people from all over
The Interstates moving heavily but steadily with carloads and busloads of angry and patriotic citizens.

6. I've read that many people are living in their cars
these days. One can just pick them up roadside.
