Check out this speaker list for the March

And you know what - it's all related to the war, there are no little side-sect pet projects being slipped in there because it's a chance for exposure on C-Span. This is a great list of speakers and I'm so glad that UPJ dumped ANSWER.

I might schlep my laptop if I could sign on to the Internet and watch c-span online.

I've done marches in DC where the volume of people were so overwhelming that the cell phone connection was busy

until after the march was over.

Have a great time on Saturday. I'll be watching C-Span and hoping I see the DU banner.

:cry:

It's right next door to the Irish Times and tell the manager Michael McMahon I said hello.

I met him the last time in DC and turns out he's from the same town in Co. Clare as is a really good friend of mine & Mr. Wonderful's...

Ask him if he remembers the two women from Chicago who were rooting for the "Northern" teams in the All-Ireland Football finals in 2005.

Actually the Dubliner wouldn't be a bad place to grab something to eat after the march. The food's not bad and it's pretty reasonable.

Have a great time, I'll be thinking of all of you Saturday afternoon/evening...
