Methinks We Don't Protest Enough

In the last week or so I began to get the feeling that our movement towards equal rights was beginning to lost its head of steam. I've contacted a few people and no one really seems to know what's going on for the DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) protest on Jan. 10.
I know that we all have our own lives. Most of us have to work a day job AND try to organize a movement, which makes this more difficult.

I'm still hopefull though. While I was on Facebook earlier today I saw an ad for a Virtual Protest. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=52599054615 So far over 8000 people have promised to change their profile picture on FB for the Inaugural week. It's a step in the right direction. Other than to raise visibility, I'm not certain what else it might accomplish though.

What if, instead of a virtual protest, we held an ACTUAL protest? What if, just like in the 60's during the VietNam protests, we all just piled into busses, vans, SUVs, etc and converged on Washington DC? Now THAT would get some serious media attention. Local TV stations would conduct interviews and people would see that we REALLY do mean what we say. We really ARE serious about our rights as human beings.

Something like this takes time to coordinate. So I propose that on July 4th we have a national protest IN Washington DC on the Mall! Anyone interested in helping me coordinate it should contact me on Twitter under PFLAGBrevard.
