I think that we need to do a national march on the border like

the March on Washington in 1963. Get hundreds of thousands of people down there by car, bus load, train and plane. Then have a massive protest and teach in...wake the country up to what is happening in our name.

is not a reality to be ignored. I'm with you on the general idea, Gopiscrap. I've often thought it'll come to that and my husband and I should join in.
