We liberals or progressives need a big march on Washington.
Is anybody going to that Oct, 2nd March for jobs, justice and peace?

1. Our marches don't get televised so they don't count.

5. You are right, but
I've been to a number of them and while that aspect is really demoralizing it is so energizing to be out with a million other like minded souls marching with purpose (even if it is a million purposes because, after all, we are Democrats!)

3. Isn't it funny.
That the truthiness idea takes off, but if you post on a serious topic it is not as energized?


Why is that, because fun and good humor can energize things.


The concept of a truthiness rally releases all those good feelings from fun of watching those shows by many people for many years.

4. Nah, what we need is a NATIONAL strike
and that ain't gonna happen. But that is the only thing that might show up in the evening news.

8. Why? Who will listen? The Pres has made it very clear where our place is. In the back of the

12. Make that "under the bus"
We're so used to getting trampled we can only dream of actually riding at the back of the bus.

11. get Ed Schultz to help promote it since he has
tv and radio show. It needs to be publicized like a beckwetter event. Get Howard Dean to attend. I'd love to join but am unable.
