If the main purpose of the march is to get our judges or justices a fair vote in the Senate, then indeed call it by what it is: "March for Judges."

It is not a concession to leftists if you don't call your causes by the same name as they call theirs. It will only confuse people. And people is what you want to attract.

Drive by a billboard that reads "March for justice" and it immediately evokes the image of Sharpton spewing his nonsense. "March for Judges" is sraightforward and conveys the message you're trying to deliver.

**Yep, I see your point! How about "Our Republic's Justice?" "Uphold Justice." Still sounds like a "liberal" mantra. Or, "Justice is Right, Not Left"?
"Justice For All Isn't Leftism" Gad! I'm just not a very good slogan-maker. "March for American Principles."
Hmmm...

Just take the word "justice" out and substitute the word "judges." I think that "March for Judges" gets your message out loud and clear, and, for the uninformed majority, does not evoke the image of Sharpton, in his shirtsleeves, surrounded by 42 hanger-on, ranting and raving about some criminal not being granted what he thinks are his rights as an American, and calling that a "March for Justice."

If it's not broke, don't fix it...a good rule.

The first March For Justice was organized by Free Republic in Oct 31,1998 thus March For Justice II this year on April 7th.

If it immediately invokes all those negative issues to you and others that's no problem, but I don't see that happening. The left often tries to co-opt Conservative catch phrazes. Free Republic and Free People don't concede to liberal leftists.

BTW, how did the Purple States vote?...:>)
