37. I've been ready, I've gone to DC...
... but it was barely on the news. I've thought a lot about this also.
I mean, how many marching does it take to make it a 'news' story?
The immigrants got more news coverage DAILY than the March in DC in Sept. '05!!
I also wonder about the 60's - '70's generation. Are they to old to march anymore?
To caught up in thier lives to get off thier collective asses?
I did see many age groups represented in DC. It was beautiful.
One marcher had to be close to 90 years old!! I was totally impressed!
My youngest son (16 at the time) was with me and he was complaining of being
hot and tired of walking until we saw the elderly woman. And she wasn't alone.
He stopped complaining after that. ;)

Does protesting need to take a different form now? :shrug:
I already boycott cable and satellite tv. I barely use gasoline.
I doubt those companies will notice my absence.

This --> has been going on for awhile now.
Tell your Representative and both of your Senators it is time to impeach president Bush now!
http://www.millionphonemarch.com/impeach.htm
You can call your members of Congress right now on one of these toll-free numbers,
888-818-6641 or 888-355-3588. There are operators on duty 24 hours a day.

Just ask to be connected to your one of your senators or your house representative and they'll put you through.
If you don't know who they all are, or want all their direct phone and fax numbers,
just submit the simple form on the right,
to get all their numbers right down to their district offices,
right here on this page:

Our members of Congress must be made to understand they can no longer defend the crimes
of this administration against the people, and they will only get that message if you
speak out now. Click to enter the pool to guess how many Bush Administration members will
be indicted by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald.

Is it working?? :shrug:

Maybe if more demonstrations/marches were organized in the warmer months there'd be a larger turnout?
I don't know. I wonder; what will it take to put a fire under people to get them moving?

But I WILL be there...again!

I see a lot of 'mature' protestors in this pic I took in DC in Sept. '05. ;)
