Of the 56,000,000+ people who voted for Kerry, you'd think that it would be possible to fill Washington, DC with 5,000,000-10,000,000 protestors. How could 10,000,000 people be ignored? We need to send a message to this administration that is by no means unclear. I know we can do it.

Well, with a whole agenda of heavy-hitting speakers, on a Saturday when most people had the day off, and in the very epicenter of the voter fraud universe, (Ohio), we managed to scrape together about 400 people for a rally.

That shows that about 1 person in 100,000 or 0.001% of the population takes this seriously.

The rest just gotta learn the hard way, I guess. I don't feel terribly sorry for them. It's the kids I feel really sorry for. They are going to get stuck with the bill for the absolute total greed and indifference of this generation.

I think a march is a great idea, have you ever heard about the 1965 march for Civil Rights from Selma AL to the capital of Montgomery? There is a good article @

Would like to see a 60 million person march - the real probable numbers of Kerry supporters. I know, I am dreaming, but..............our future is at stake!

January 20 - Thursday - Counter Inaugural- Washington, D.C. Thousands of people are expected to flood the city of Washington, DC to say NO to the Bush policies of endless war and domestic repression. We will be organizing buses from all over the country to bring activists to the Counter-Inaugural. You can donate on-line to help with the buses at http://peoplejudgebush.org/donate.shtml . March 20 - Sunday- International Day of Action on the 2nd Anniversary of the beginning of the war. On this day there will be protests all over the world against Bush's crimes.

I agree with you; I was in Columbus on Saturday, and everybody was so wonderful and with such great knowledge and energy... but where was everybody else, even those from Columbus? However, it is still possible to gather people for a huge march, but I think it will take a lot more organization: buses to the event, pledges signed by people to say they will go, etc.

I would also like to know where some of the interest groups that I expected to see were... there were political groups, but as far as organizations went, where were women's groups? Ethnic groups? Environmental groups? Voter organizations? Free speech movement (if it still exists), etc. etc.... These groups must participate if there is to be any turnout, and I am surprised to learn that they don't think the voter fraud affects them. Maybe we should all be writing to all of these organizations too.

What do you think about trying to get something organized very soon in Ohio, something like the 1965 March I mentioned in my other post? Wouldn't it be great to have thousands jamming the streets of Columbus on the day the Electors meet?
