If we could get millions of Americans to march on Washington, what would we do? Millions would be great- but a million will do nicely ...

We not only need to get a million people - WE MUST DO SO!

Obama will not be moved by much of anything... But Members of Congress will ... I suggest we call this Operation “LAME DUCK” ... A million or more people assembling in D.C. will scare the pants off of House Members and Senators... And this would be the case for all persuasions - Conservative, Middle of the Road - So Called Moderates - Liberals (perhaps only the die hard Leftist would not be worried).

With the 2010 elections coming up with Primaries in the Spring - we have a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to smack Congress in the head with a 2 by 4.

Imagine this one - two million assembling, cheering, chanting - we hear our designated speakers - we call out certain members of Congress - House Reps and Senators - and point our collective fingers right in their face...

But the real secret is after the main assembly the throng just moves quietly into the streets and form in mass in front of the Capitol Building and the White House and we just SIT IN THE STREET and Do Not Move...

50,000 troops and 20,000 cops could not move a million people from the streets of D.C. They will not risk violence - as long as we are being Civilly Disobedient - Non Violent - there is nothing much to be done...

We could stay there for days - calling on cell phones for more to drive to D.C. — STOP traffic in D.C. for 24-36-48 hours...

Elected officials of all types - even Bureaucrats would stop and being to think twice.

Collectively - by scaring the pants of politicians - scaring them will the fear of not being re-elected - will bring on an early LAME DUCK season for Obama...

Just let the sight of this roll over in your mind... We can do it... Operation Lame Duck.

Ever hear of the Bonus March. They set the Army, under MacArthur, Patton and Eisenhower, to put that down. Which they did, with horses, sabers, and tanks. The bonus marchers weren't even blocking traffic, IIRC.

I suggest that the vast million or so march quietly on Washington--The sound of a million boots on the pavement. The marchers then silently hold a "Sit In"... And after a specified period of time. Silently move out, again the boots marching in unison along the pavement.

The message being: Next Time it will not be a silent march...
