That is a profound rationalization.
The issue of the day is the war in Iraq. The Speaker of the House and the Senate Leader have denounced the war. Many small organizations representing the fragmented left will join to howl their support fot ending the war now, that very day.
Free Republic, a grass roots organization will muster a few, those who are always there rain or shine. The majority will stay home and make self congratulatory posts as they bask in the reflected action on the Mall.
actually, many of us would fax, make phone calls to many reps/Senators and make our voices heard as well.
