Who's going to DC for the Jan. 27 anti-war march?

This is the golden age for cheap airfares between Detroit and DC, so I'll be there. Who else?

"Why does America have hundreds of billions to ruin the health and take the lives of innocent people in Iraq but no money to provide health care for all Americans?..."
—US Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich

And I'm really really excited about it too, because this will be my very first peace march! I can't wait!!!!

My first one was in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on the day of the worldwide marches before the Iraq War in 2003. It was incredible!

Am looking at schedules, etc. today. My mom is going with me. :)

Comments: Many of us are planning to participate in D.C. for the three days (January 27-29, 2007). Is this also your intention? We will likely rent a van for transportation. If there are enough, perhaps a bus will be leased. People are just starting to let me know of their interest, so I don't know how many people from Indiana are committed to participate, and for which days. If people want to go for Saturday alone, we will need to arrange separate transportation that accomodates as many people participating as possible. Please spread the word and encourage more people to get involved. And let me know of your commitment to go to D.C. to work to "Defund the War ~ Declare Peace!" and Bring All U.S. Troops Home in 2007. Thank you!
