1. Mine's five minutes from my house

I'll be going right from work.

I think there are four or five different organizations involved in the one event. I wound up RSVPing to two of them for the same one!

2. And especially...

in D.C.....let's have a Gigantic Surge of Americans at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. ....the largest crowd ever in history descend upon that idiot who sits in power...

3. Mine starts at 4pm in Palatka Florida, very red part of the state

Can't wait to see what the reaction is.

My sign reads: NO MORE MONEY, NO MORE TROOPS

I can't wait. This is not a very liberal part of town and is one of the poorest counties in Florida. Unreal, but there are still plenty of Bush/Cheney 2004 bumperstickers on cars. LOL

4. Going to mine AND am taking former DUer

Distressed American too!

5. I live in nowhere Ohio and was surprised

when I put in my zip code and there is one only 2 miles from my house. But that should not have really surprised me the guy holding it has a bunch of white crosses out in his side yard. I'll be there.

So nice to see all of us getting out there tonight.

7. Done!

I will be at the Salem, MA rally tonight.

Thank you for bringing this up and providing the link about where the rallies are. It is really important to express out opinions.....even if this is Massachusetts. No convincing necessary here.

so I'm making my own this evening.

17. Thanks for the links...

though none got more than 12 recs.


70% of the U.S. population reject an escalation of the war. This is the perfect time to get out there on get on the evening news.

15. Wow

there is one in a quite conservative area close by. Maybe I should go and lend support to those brave folks.

[Pyrzqxgl]

18. Anybody know of one in San Diego?
