We could have used a lot more FReepers in D.C. on Monday and Tuesday to protest the Porkulus Bill.
Of course a big part of the problem is protesting too late in the game.
Trooprally,
I, and all freepers, appreciate your efforts, and all those freepers who are able to go to D.C. and have a presence there.
I attended the first GOE march in D.C. It cost me a lot of money to travel from Tennessee to D.C for this.
Most freepers are hard working (were anyway, before the jobs disappeared), average Americans. It costs a lot of money to travel great distances.
I know this has been discussed before, and many of us (including ME) didn’t act on it. We need local, grassroots efforts to organize and get our message out close to home, where our goal is attainable.
People scoff at the “community organizer” concept that swept Obama into power. But it apparently works.
Every one of those moneychangers in D.C. is elected in a district in some place in hometown USA.
We could probably smack ‘em harder here at home than in D.C.
