I was there; wish I'd seen you guys! I got stuck near the back of the march, having been quite near the stage so I could see and hear everything. I was very impressed by Rep. Hart - she's got my vote! Made me proud to have her in Congress representing my state. I think everyone in the crowd cheered when W called in; I know I did. I did get a bit tired off all the bishops and politicians and such getting up and talking - half the amount of time would have been fine. As it was I nearly ran out of time and wasn't able to make it over to the Capitol building after the march, since I had to go find a metro station right away.

It was so great to be surrounded by so many pro-life people. I didn't see any anti-lifers, but the people with the gruesome photographs got a bit annoying, since they were basically preaching to the choir.

OK, next year I'll get my act together and meet some of you guys - because I'll be there again!

I was also near the back of the march. Did you see a guy in a blue sweatshirt with the U.S. flag on the front (my only pro-life gear)? I marched with the Franciscans that had that portable sound system for a while.

I finally had to leave the march right after it went past the capital building. Unfortunately, I never could find any detailed information on the march, and had told my wife I would probably leave D.C. around 3:00. She was home with a sick daughter and I really had to leave to go help out. I'm sorry I missed W. but not sorry I missed that RINO Specter. I'm also sorry I didn't get to meet you.

Shalom.
