Why the lack of interest in the March in March?
Advertisements [?]
I'm amazed at the lack of interest expressed here at DU regarding the march on the Pentagon next weekend. No meet-ups plans, no gathering points, etc.

From all accounts, this seems like it will be bigger than the march in January - which was spectacular!

Freeper-in-charge Jim-bob and his minions are caravaning all the way across the country to "protect the monuments" from the "leftist anarchists" who defaced the Capitol in January (yeah - like we all stormed the capitol, and, unable to gain entry, spray painted horrible messages of communism and whatever other garbage their ferret-brains could manufacture).

Cudos to those who are planning to attend. Our plans are not firm, but we really want to go.

To be honest, most of our family is going out of town for a wedding. We will most likely have to take our daughters, 9 yo and almost 11 (as she prefers:) ) They've been learning about the government and freedom of speech in school, and our original thought was that this would be a perfect example of democracy in action.

But now, with the wackos planning to attend en masse - and it sounds (dare you go tp freeperville?) like there will be alot, I don't want my daughters exposed to any potential violence.

For my DH & I we couldn't give a shit - if they want to give us crap, we'll give it right back at them.

In Jan., by this time, plans were made for a meet-up at the Hawk & Dove on Fri. night.

Are there any plans being made at all, or is this a non-starter for DU this time around?

I am going to cross-post to GN and the DC forum. Please delete if not appropriate
