Are you planning on coming to DC on March 17th? I'll be there to support our troops against the anti-war crowd. Everybody is always up in arms about how horrible our government is but don't go any farther than their keyboard. I know that we all have jobs and families, but what sacrifice have we made? I've sent money, care packages, phone cards etc. But that was just a monetary sacrifice. I want a chance to pit myself against the anti-war, anti-American crowd. My son went with me once to keep me from getting into trouble, he's deployed this time so I'm going stag.

re: Are you planning on coming to DC on March 17th?

With all due respect, forget Washington DC. The most you could hope for is a million people and even then it would not be impressive. We need it to happen all across America, at every level.

Even if you get a million people the MSM will say the turnout was lower than expected and find a dozen or so counter-protesters and present their side of the story.

Things like the million-man march only work once, maybe twice, then they are no longer news. Or the MSM finds a way to blunt them.

No, we've got to find a new and unique way to express our anger and frustration. I'm thinking. Electing Newt as President will be a good start, but I don't want to wait until 2008!
