Thank you very much for the suggestion but I did protest all by myself when Al Gore and his daughter came to town. I didn't go tell the world what I did either. So mind your own business, please. You have NO IDEA what you are talking about.
I damn well have an excuse. I have businesses that need to be taken care of. If I don't do the work it doesn't get done. It's not like I can tell 'my boss' that I'm leaving for a couple of days or a couple of hours.
Never discount the value of a solo Freep. When Hillary was runing for Senate, kattracks did a solo at a Hillary fundraiser. As Hillary kept the press out, the local evening news had her on opposite the Democrat Mayor and gave her equal time.
Lots of time you don't see the immediate result. We became the "B-roll" stock footage that appears six months later to illustrate pro-troops sentiment in the nation, or you find out some columnist talks about the lone proester they saw.
Never, ever believe it was in vain. Lots of them are not even though it seems like a bust.
