Make MARCH 24th the biggest March ever on Washington. By Geniusofdespair

Do you really want change on guns well now is the time. We have this small window of opportunity: The March in Washington on the 24th. Sponsor a kid, help rent a bus, go yourself. Local marches are fine but there has to be one mega, killer march. If you really believe -- you can make it happen. It is an easy round trip in one day. I did it for the women's march last year. Can't afford it, give a young one $5 towards their trip.

Do it right, don't be lazy and say, I will just march here. That is a last resort. Good, but not good enough. Get to Washington! Get your kids to Washington. Make reservations now before the prices spike. Look for bus rides. I reserved a one bedroom suite, it cost $239. Just to have it. Can fit a lot of people.


Remember it wasn't the New York, Chicago, Miami, Boston Tea Party. One Place = most impact.

According to CBS News, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's Rally had an estimated 215,000 people. The company commissioned to do the estimate also did the estimate for Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally in August. That rally was estimated to have attracted 87,000 people. Both numbers have a margin of error of 10%. It looks like sanity and fear trump honor. Below: a Beck Rally photo.

Washington D.C. Police Sport the License Plate Motto Protest. By Geniusofdespair


The Nation's Capitol, where you would expect the ideals of America to be paramount, has a flaw. The People living in The District of Columbia have no representation -- no Senators and no Congressmen or Congresswomen. This photo illustrates the frustration in the District. Even police cars sport the "Taxation without Representation" motto adopted for D.C. license plates. Protest is alive and well in D.C.
