ah, In the words of op-ivy...

sure all these politicians suck, but it would be a good chance to hold their feet to the fire. I think we should build for this day of action. I believe that any actions in the chi this day are good, so I don't object to the ideas (except for the meeting idea for direct action (there should not be meetings but actual action that day). As far as a sham, well... I think we need to acknowledge and respect a 'diversity of tactics' If you can't stomach these politicians speaking well... do your own action that will contribute to the overall message-- troops out now, no more silent anti-war majority, its time to act. Do that action on the 27th. Figure it out has a good point btw
