What would happen if a group of Congress Critters called for a
March? Hmmm? How many would attend then?

If Boxer and Byrd and Kennedy and Kerry and McCulskey to name some randomly called for an impeachment march? Oh, wait they're Senators, that would be impolite.

Ok, how about if the House Judiciary Dems. called for a demonstration of No Confidence, or in support of a real investigation of all the travesties and woe visited upon the general populace?

How many would show then?

What if the Congressional Black Caucus called for an impeachment demonstration?

How about the good Dr.? What if he were to call a DNC officially sanctioned demonstration to shout SHAME!

How. Many. Then?

Folks, if one of 'em stands up to sing a bar, people will think they're crazy.

If say two of em stood up and sang a bar of Alice's resturant well, then people would start to notice.

And if three or more people started singing, in 3 part harmony, why the folks would think it's a movement.

How many would show?

I had a vision of a million people standing on The Mall singing Alice's Resturant in three part harmony.

The demand? No More Nothing! No Supreme appointments. No Halliburton contracts. Nada. Zip. Zilch. And that means Democrat pork too!

A call to mercilessly prosecute the criminal acts of those who work for We The People! I want a prosecution like McCarthy's, except substitute Corruption for Commiunist!

Here's a good start: call for Immediate impeachment hearings in the House. Sibel testifies on C-Span. Classified info is revealed to the Committee and reviewed to see if it's really classified or embarrassing. It is also provided to the prosecutors of the trials of the accused.

1. Wow, hoot! Wouldn't that be a demonstration to end all demonstrations?
:applause: If the Democrats called a march, and actually agreed to SHOW UP, there would be at least 2 million people in the streets! AND I'D BE ONE OF 'EM!!!

People who are too afraid to march with the ANSWER bunch, or people who are afraid of getting their heads busted, would jump on this march like a chicken on a June bug! Millions and Millions of us would show up, and be SO DAMNED GLAD that the Dems showed they could finally DO something constructive, to bring the people together.

O8) Oh, man! Let it happen!! O8)

3. Doubt it would end all demonstrations, but...
We need to get people into Congress that would do this.

2. Unfortunately
the media is so owned that it is never going to happen.

Just think...no coverage of the Iraq war protest except on CSpan.
