Who's going to DC to protest?

[RagingInMiami]

Where is everybody staying? (general area, not exact room and number)
When will you be arriving?
There is a protest scheduled for Sept. 11, which hopefully lasts until Sept. 24, when Cindy Sheehan is scheduled to arrive.

I think this is the moment of truth. I'm planning on getting there before Sept. 24, but if things heat up, I may get there earlier.

Green Festival

This is going on all day & all day Sunday. I'd love to see Kucinich speak but he's starting at the same time the protest is starting; however I might head over if its open after the protest saturday or on Sunday since they have alot of great events going on. It's a shame they scheduled this the same day as the protest since so many people want to do both

30. I can't make it, very sadly. Financial problems.

I just don't have the money to go. :cry:

[LynneSin]

31. I wish I could help out

I know we could find someone to give you a place to stay if only you could get to dc

:cry:

[terrya]

43. Thank you, LynneSin.

This breaks my heart. :cry:

[RagingInMiami]

33. I'm in the same boat

Which is why I'm trying to get a hostel or maybe split a room with somebody.

But this is history in the making. And I'll be up there with my camera taking photos, documenting it -- that is, when I'm not raising my middle finger towards the white house.

[Sugar Smack]

34. I will be there!

Going to go over the details with Joani!

:bounce:

[progmom]

35. Yay!

:bounce:

[JimmyJazz]

38. I'll be there!

I am really looking forward to meeting everyone!

[blonndee]

39. I am! I just made arrangments last night! I'm staying with a friend who

lives in D.C. Me and probably two of her friends from NY.

This is my very first even like this, so I'm VERY excited! I need a break from this oh-so-red state.

[El Fuego]

40. Hi Raging!!!!

How is everything? :) I was thinking about you when the hurricane hit Miami, I guess you were pretty much in the middle of it all.

I was thinking about going to D.C., but I've been procrastinating ... might be too late now.

[cally]

41. I'm going

I need to find a hotel still but I have plane reservations.

[Chovexani]

44. I'm staying with my sis in Laurel

My mom and I are going to be in town for the Congressional Black Caucus' Legislative Conference anyway. Going to stick around for a couple more days to hopefully hang out. :)
