Was there supposed to be a march on Washington today?
Please forgive me if I've been hallucinating...but I could swear there was talk, a couple of weeks ago, of a march of pro Single Payers on Washington...scheduled for today.
I knew I couldn't go..and instead I've been signing up on e every petition I can find, and intend to keep at the phoning, faxing, emailing for AT LEAST a DECENT public option, if not single payer...but...well...was the parade called off? Is it scheduled for another time? Or do I need to consult a doctor about my out-of-control fantasy life?

1. little mini-marches aren't going to do the trick...
MASSIVE DEMONSTRATIONS will be REQUIRED before we ever get ANY kind of MEANINGFUL healthcare reform.

mark my words.

2. General strike. General strike. General strike.
That's how our dads and granddads (and moms and grandmoms) did it, folks.

3. Maybe we can outsource our protests to the Iranians.
