Can't we do this?
Anti-Arroyo forces to hold large protest Leftist activists, church-backed groups and opposition leaders said Monday they would clog Metro Manila with thousands of protesters later this week to raise pressure on President Arroyo to break her silence on poll fraud allegations. Arroyo, whose ratings are at record lows, has declined to say whether it is her voice on recordings of a telephone conversation, which the opposition says bolsters its claims she cheated her way to victory in last year's elections .

I think it's a great idea - but could we do it here? I don't know.

We have a resident in the WH who stole two elections. Where was the outrage then?

6. Ok...I like fun! But can you imagine if we all got together and just had
one giant sit-in...Just stopped everything. It would be monumental.

7. Yes I can imagine that
I remember the anti-war protests of the 60s and 70s. But we need to build up a rather large base before we are ready to do that again. We aren't there yet.
