I know there are other threads but I thought I should consolidate the info so people don't get confused. (my mom asks, wait, I thought Jesse Jackson was speaking NEXT week.) sigh

I can't drive and live out in the middle of nowhere. I feel kinda helpless so you all have to go out there and show people what Democracy looks like for me!!!!!

Is that for sure?

Well, it's a three hour drive for me - I think I'll be there!

I need to be surrounded by like minded people. Thousands of like minded people!!!

there are people coming all the way from California and Florida! what is 3 hours for democracy. Plus you will meet a lot of nice dedicated people. Worth the drive!

I appreciate all your efforts to keep hope alive!

I here Jessie Jackson is confirmed as well:)

area, it did not belong to Shrub the way the final "tallies" indicate.
I am with y'all in spirit, and CANNOT wait for the real fun to begin
here out West; I am so there.

Are there going to be rallies in other states at the same time to show solidarity and sympathy for Ohio's horrible voter suppression and election corruption?

Not today, but next week. Is it something Freespeech or linktv could cover or at least publicize?

I do know somebody at Freespeech.

Wouldn't it be good to have rallies coordinated in as many states as possible? By coordinating them to the same time we can show solidarity without disrupting our lives by traveling to NYC or Ohio -a lot more people could participate and maybe we'd even get national and local attention.

I'm afraid I've been asking more questions than doing LOL. Activism is all new to me. How do you organize all these disparate progressive groups? The democrats have been real quiet and there's no leader to tie people together at the state or national level.
