Demonstrators hold Nashville Rally to Save the Judiciary from Right Wing Extremists

Approximately 80 protesters gathered in front of the Federal Building in downtown Nashville Wednesday to demonstrate against attempts by the right wing to gain control of the judiciary. Demonstrators urged Senator Alexander to vote against breaking a 200-yr. old Senate Rule to stack the Court with Right-Wing Judges in lieu of a vote expected this week. Chanting "Save Our Courts" for an hour and holding signs, the concerned citizens were greeted mostly with positive horn honking and thumbs up from passersby on Broadway. The event, which was part of a national day of action, was organized by MoveOn.Org and coincided with demonstrations happening in 180 cities across the country. <snip>

2. An event like this does much more than simply send a message ..

.. to a politician: it begins to organize people; and when folks are moping "nobody cares" from the sidelines, they need to see this stuff.

3. exactly right

I need to start getting involved with more of these things

I always have an excuse of why I don't and it's more work coming up with excuses than actually going to these events
