Thanks for the joint effort on the pictures, ladies!
We're on the way to the shop to get a jack, my boat has two flat tires and it lists something terrible! As soon as we get them fixed I will be back this afternoon to post a report and some pictures.
Boooouuuummmmmmmp!
It must be pretty miserable living life as such a pessimist.
I read Billybob's speech, and it is excellent. I just hope his speech, and the others' speeches were heard by people other than just the attending FReepers. That would have been "preaching to the choir," so to speak. I can imagine they were all very impressive and should be heard. Were the speeches delivered aloud or sent to anyone else for reading or publication?
What I meant was: were they delivered aloud - to anyone else (other than the FR group, like any politicians, etc.)...or sent to anyone else to read?
If not, perhaps that can still be done? From the quality of the speech of Congressman BillyBob it seems they should have more exposure. I am sure they worked on the speeches quite a while.
Man, it's too bad Roy Innis could not be there. That boy kicks ass.
(1)Terri's case garnered all the focus and media attention and deservedly so. Thus, promoting the event was next to impossible. I know I tried.
(2)It was held during a week day.
You can attempt to find DEEPER reasons for the low turnout; they just don't exist.
Good job!

Common Tator, I had been hoping to meet you--were you at the March?
I agree with Liberty Valance about your sobering look at politics in America---
Boy have I been unrealistically idealistic in the past---this past few years and analysis' like yours make it so hard to want to keep going ....
I appreciate the post, but alas, it isn't very optomistic right now....
You know, liberals were consistently doing demonstrations for years, and they have abortion rights, tax and spend policies, the nanny state, separation of church and state.....things that most voters don't want, yet politicians backed it, passed it.
Special interest is, by definition, the minority, or they wouldn't be "special." And special interest groups get plenty of what they're asking for. Money and noise win political support. That doesn't necessarily mean more votes. All special interest needs now is a judge.
It's always been easier to sit on your a$$ and complain than to get out there and hold a sign, or deliver a letter.
I just wish the Northeast where New York and Washington D. C. are, was not such a "blue state"---there are a lot more "liberal protestors" that live close to the areas that get the media exposure---
Sure, you might get a lot more "red state conservatives" protesting in Dallas, but you will never see it on TV! And, if it isn't on TV, then the rest of flyover country won't know and won't care---at least right now.
Hopefully the internet and website like this one will have more of an impact...it has had more impact by a ton, since the Rathergate incident, but face it, most people are too lazy to scour the internet, when it is so easy to have on CNN or even Fox News as background noise---
I don't think the reason for the analysis goes any deeper than the two reasons I posted. I respectfully submit, in this situation, you folks are overly analytical and pessimistic.
Not you SVDPJ.
The first March for Justice help to spur Clinton's impeachment. We will again have such impact in the future.
All excellent points. Well said!
Good job on posting the pix!! Thanks!
