Marching on Washington isn't what it used to be. The MSM treat it as an everyday occurrence. The National Mall is a human corral.

Nothing is going to change until we show up on their doorsteps.

When the MEdia didn't cover this one but only with fleeting references, I knew then there would have to be another.

Not directed at Congress.
Not at the Tea Party.
Not at this state or that state.
Certainly not at generic conservatives.
And not at ALEC or the Kochs, who nobody knows.

But directly at REPUBLICANS. Republicans in Congress and Republicans in state governments.

Don't dilute the message.

If there's no focus on the party responsible for passing all these laws, a march may well be pointless.

you do realize that is a tag, so that when people pull up the image they can search by it and find similar tags?

You know, when you search by image? On "the Google"?

This post is an insult to women.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Jul 25, 2013, 05:44 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I'm not sure why it's an insult.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Lighten up Francis

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Not sure what is meant by this but I think it's a dumb post, not an egregious one.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: Post is an insult in general.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I don't see how criticizing a doodle on a sign is an insult to women.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Women, labor, minority voters, educators, students, people on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, 4th Amendment advocates. We are the 99%. They may have squashed Occupy but the suffering still exists and someday there will be a protest they cannot put down.

Policies get influenced by efforts to elect or defeat members of Congress. The rest is window-dressing.

A single protest march does not change it, but a sustained fight does.
