DR. DEAN, PLEASE CALL FOR A "MILLION PATRIOTS MARCH"

[Nimrod2005]

As the opposition party, why can't we do this? We can protest:

1) The war
2) High gas prices
3) NSA spying
4) CIA leaks
5) High deficits/debt he created!!!

Why are these reasons NOT worth protesting against? People take to the streets everywhere in the world but here - for all the shit being done in our name, why not?

All people without basic healthcare coverage, people who live below the poverty line, people who can't afford going to college are invited!!!

I can pay to fly 5 people to DC from anywhere in the country to participate.

P.S. credit to diamondsndust who came up with the name for the protest.

[Rex_Goodheart]

3. Excellent idea.

I'm there.

Let's do it!

[diamondsndust]

4. I'm up for it too ....

I hope the idea can catch on.... party lines don't matter... True American Patriotism is the clear issue here. It's time to stand up to the injustice and lies and try to restore some kind of dignity and respect to our nation. It's time to take it to the streets, in a PEACEFUL, organized, educated protest of our current "leadership".

5. Yes! A million patriots overflowing the Mall, all calling for regime

change. What a sight to behold!!

[Nimrod2005]

8. Sent the email asking that they organize it. They will be shocked

at the turnout.

6. Make that an "Every American Patriot March"

Never Forget: George W. Bush willfully violated National Security to cover-up his willful launch of a war of aggression and illegal occupation of Iraq.

[hootinholler]

11. YES! Big tent. Although we just want the outraged patriots,

Those other guys, the 32%, mistakenly think they are the patriots.

om DC to applaud the Dem congress for impeaching the Bushboy.

[katinmn]

13. YES!

[Burried News]

14. Make the Washington Mall "The Field of Dreams" nt

15. We already had a half million Patriot March

in New York before the Repbulican convention. This time we need a 10 Million Patriot March.

[Breeze54]

17. Isn't that going on in NYC on Saturday, the 29th??

SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 2006 NEW YORK CITY

Unite for change -- let's turn our country around!

Too much is too wrong in this country.

We have a foreign policy that is foreign to our core values,

and domestic policies wreaking havoc at home.

The times are urgent and we must act!

* No more never-ending oil wars!

* Protect our civil liberties & immigrant rights.
End illegal spying, government corruption and the subversion of our democracy.

* Rebuild our communities, starting with the Gulf Coast.
Stop corporate subsidies and tax cuts for the wealthy while ignoring our basic needs.

* Act quickly to address the climate crisis and the accelerating destruction of our environment.

Our message to the White House and to Congress is clear: Either stand with us or stand aside!

We are coming together to march, to vote, to speak out and to turn our country around!

a lot of like-minded people.

Not a bad idea at all.
