Anyone going to the MoveOn American Dream rally tomorrow in Austin?

I'm going to do my best to make it, but it's still iffy.

1. I'm trying to make it there too...

I'm just not positive that I can get there on time so I haven't committed on the site.

2. I did.

It was quite a respectable-sized crowd. I'm glad I went and added my one little body. I'm going to the one for teachers on March 12 as well.

3. Thanks for representing!

This was such a busy weekend for me on the work front. Sad to have missed it, but my heart was with you.

6. I think we awakened a real sleeping giant when Walker jacked with the teachers

Or so I was told at the rally. Some of those wonderful teachers were major serious.

I surely hope so. Never forget how much each and every one of us has a teacher we really love. In spite of the flip side (and I LOATHE a couple of my former teachers), I'll be there for each and every one of them. They should be making the money the professional athletes make. What Walker is attempting simply must be stopped.

8. Thanks for those pics!

:applause:

I have always loved the bumper sticker "Unions - from the people that brought you weekends" so I really liked the one sign you captured.
"enjoy your weekend - thank a union!"
