I had the same thoughts myself. But most of the true organizers will tend to attend the bigger national events. It requires commitment from all of us to go when we can go or to stay behind and be the ones who will be responsible to organize our local events.

Yesterday, there were coinciding events in other major cities. How cool would it have been for even a few people to stand on a street corner or in another public place with signs opposing the war in every city/town in America?

We must raise awareness within our own neighborhoods. So many people I talked to yesterday had NO idea what was going on in DC...they just live in their damn bubble.

So let this be a lesson to us all. We must act locally as well as nationally.
