You don't have to protest every week, show up when you can.
Protesting is the warmest feeling you will get, outside of your first love.
WE are too spotted around the country to develop any mass at a protest, small FReeps attracts members in the local area, time and exposure.
As far as being spotted around the country, agreed. I will say this, for being so spotty we can make a noise when we need to! BTW - I'm not worried about being spotty. I'd rather see 50 people at 100 venues around the country than 5000 people at one.
