We need a march on Wash to show public option not dead
10 million or more people marching on Wash to show we want a public option should turn the tide.

3. I'd love to do it. Unfortunately that would add joblessness and homelessness to my insurance problem

7. Maybe in each state have a march on its capital...this would be
good...and maybe people who have to work or cannot afford to go to Washington...have large crowds...or arrange them in large cities where the rural communities could join in..

13. This is an excellent idea
We'd need to coordinate so as to have all the individual state marches on the same day.

10. Of course but marches are dime a dozen and easily ignored
why we have crossed the rubicon to increased civil disobedience, at least imho...

Especially if indeed they drop public to keep the Pubs that will not vote for it anyway, happy.

(and reports they will means they will)

6. And the media would report that it was half the turnout of the teabaggers events.

I didn't mean to rain on your parade. I'm just so discouraged with the media & their role in the destruction of our democracy.
