The BIG gatherings, from MLK in ‘63 to the annual Rolling Thunder, to the ‘09 Tea Party or Beck events have been on a weekend and/or holiday.

Today is a workday in a large city where traffic is horrendous without any outside help. I fear folks are losing sight of DC’s actually being a working city, beyond the Capitol, the Mall, monuments, etc.

Here's the thing, people who live in DC are living in a bubble which prevents them from seeing the suffering happening across this country caused by those special people in government. We don't care if some of those folks are inconvenienced for a day.

People outside DC have been suffering for years and have asked for real solutions only to find the solutions are always to take money away from some while enslaving others by giving them that money. We live with the foreclosures, business closings, layoffs etc. while those in DC live in one of the few prospering areas of the country these past few years, on the back of taxpayer monies. So too bad if it takes them extra time to get lunch or home tonight. It is a minor problem compared to those of the rest of the country.
