13. there was a great AFL-CIO march on DC in 82, let's do likewise
only it needs to be way broader than just the unions. "Americans coming home" or something like that. Flood the capital with 2 million (OK, the Inauguration was a good pass at that but anyway). In Europe they can get 100,000 onto the streets of medium-sized cities every week when they don't like what the gov't is doing, and they have general strikes frequently enough to have an effect. We've forgotten what people power means, peacefully, in the street. Let's remember.
