Why hasn't there been a march up to the capitol...and

why isn't there protest and agitation on some of these senators like mc cain and lieberman and a lot of republicons everywhere they go, are they comfortable in their home towns. They strut around as if they are the boss of us instead of the other way around. Has anyone seen or heard of any hardcore republicons in their family or social gatherings that have finally opened their eyes about what is really going on?

1. Probably the answer to that is because we don't have an...

MSM in this country. Many people don't have the benefit of blogging and therefore are stuck with an MSM that would rather spend 99 % of their days talking about ANS's death or the car accident that crunched someones bumper....

2. There has been

But it's the age-old question: If a protest happens and the media doesn't cover it, did it really happen?

5. Thank you. I have been to several protests in DC and Richmond,

and the coverage either sucks ("look at those wacky hippies!") or is nonexistent.

Further, any truly violent protests, the only ones likely to get any reform IMHO, will most certainly be met with the army's heat laser, noise guns, etc., that will force dispersion, and that's the end of that. I just don't see a way out of this.

4. If * seriously attacks Iran

Maybe the internet can organized mass protests. There ought to be one in every major city, not just DC. Even in small towns where people are far from a major city. In every single city.

6. Perhaps we waited to long .

Just now the protests begin again even though there were some during the past few years .

Now it's to force the dems voted in to do the job they were elected to do .

This is a joke , we should have been protesting all along and possibly by now the numbers would be larger .

It does not seem to be peace that gets the attention anymore . Look how they treated the protestors a few years ago in NYC by fencing them in .
