The Protest on January 27th has to be massive
I read another thread on another one of the boards which I thought made a good point.
For this Protest to make a difference, there has to be a massive crowd, a protest with around 30 to 40 thousand people wont cut it.

If they can get over 500 thousand people and get the mainstream media to admit that number then it might make a difference, but the crowd has to be huge for people to take notice of it.

1. That's what we thought with 300,000 last Sept.
media ignored us for the most part. Unless you're planning on occupying the mall for a month expect the same.

3. I'm feeling that there will be many...
...and we won't have a hurricane to compete with this time.

4. Congressional Dems ...
... have to take decisive action by walking out on Bush's state of the union speech so as to give the traitor and his supporters a STRONG message that we {the majority} want peace NOW!

This will inspire many to show up at the rally.
