Are you going to DC?? Will ER & D be represented?
Just curious who is planning to attend the DC rally next month from this forum. I can't wait to meet you (or see you again as the case may be)!

And if you don't know what I am talking about - what, do you live under a rock? :P Check my sig line...

4. You should check in the DC 'state' forum
There may be some clues about hostels or other cheap places there. The other good thing is public transportation, you can stay outside of the city and still not have to drive in. I got a decent deal at a hotel near National airport - and it's only a $10 cab ride to the capitol, and the Metro is right there too.

2. Needs a huge, seperate, election fraud protest.....
And protest of inaccurate counting machines and unverifiable elections. Should follow all the way around the White House.

9. Well, I can understand where you are coming from
But I think this one should focus on the war. I am sure there will be a large impeachment contingent too, and it would be a great place to spread the word and pass out flyers about the stolen election and why we need to fix the system.

For the record, the election/recount Ohio rallies I went to in December had depressingly low turnouts :(

6. Oooh- that is intense!
I did that from Michigan a couple times. Great experience, not so good sleep ;)

This time I planned my vacation around it so I can stay for a few days.

10. Thinking about it, but since I have to be in Portland the same week...
... it doesn't look likely. But who knows -- extreme times demand extreme measures from all of us.

11. I wish I could do both
I already committed to DC when I heard about the Portland conference. That is an incredibly important event too.

Thanks for all you do for the cause!!!

12. I'm going, covering the event for a small San Diego newspaper
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 09:41 AM by Liberty Belle
and maybe a website or two.

Quite a few San Diegans are going. We'll be sending back a group photo from the White House lawn, hopefully with everyone wearing "IMPEACH BUSH" gear.
