6. I will be joining my co-workers
at work, where I have to be.

Why can't they schedule these things on a weekend, fer crying out loud? The turnout would be 4 times more, at LEAST.

9. know your organizers Oct. 5
The WCW organizers do not support our democracy. They are revolutionary communists who support the violent overthrow of the government. They have recruited signers to the principles of the march to lend credibility. But the fact remains: their STATED GOAL is to keep progressives/liberals away from the polls in November, and they are working to divert donations away from Democratic candidates into their own coffers.

March if you must. Just don't donate to them, and don't let them confuse you.

We've been down this path before, following the pied pipers who urged us to vote against Democrats. The result was visible on Thursday, in Congress.

10. Fair enough, i guess;
"don't let them confuse you"

And donate to (local) grassroots causes where you know and trust the people involved.

Besides, voting Democratic is ultimatly a matter of voting for Dem candidates, not so much voting for "The Democratic Party" - just vote fot the right (or Left, if you will..) candidate.

11. "March if you must..."
Yeah, we must.

March. Don't donate to the WCW. Vote Dem.

Problem solved.

Redbaiting is so 1954. It's kinda lost its charm hasn't it?

12. it ain't red baiting
It's protection of the Constitution through a Democratic majority.

Do you like what has happened over the past six years because too many on the left were bamboozled by the pied pipers who urged them not to vote for Democrats?

Well?

I will NEVER NEVER NEVER put any ideology above the need to protect the Constitution. The only way to protect the Constitution is to elect Democrats.

Got a problem with that?

13. I've never voted for ANYONE but a Dem
My momma didn't raise no fool.

But I'm not going to poo-poo what could turn out to be a very important show of public force just because "Ewwww, they're commies!".

March. Keep your money in your wallet. Vote Dem.

Problem?

Deal.
