How do you organise a march in Washington, DC?
Advertisements [?]
Because if Congress goes on summer break without coming up with a DECENT plan to fix healthcare, then perhaps I should get involved in some kind of movement to organise a march (hopefully with hundreds of thousands of people...) on the day Congress re-convenes so that they can hear our voice. If there is no movement, then perhaps I should start one.

The insurance companies may have purchased the Congressmembers (a few exceptions of course) - and especially the ones in the Senate - but they can't purchase us people.

I don't know how effective I could be personally. I'm just one person. I'm one of the lucky ones, I do have quite good health care coverage, I have a home, a job, a loving family (with enlargment any day now), and more. But I'm getting to the point that I can't just sit by idly doing nothing other than just pestering my congresscritters.

So how do you get a "Million Sickos March", or a "Sickday for Healthcare March" going?
