I was going to attend the Virginia People's Alliance rally and march on the State Capitol today with my camera, and submit a report, but when we drove by it was so pathetic I didn't want to waste the time.  There were about 20 people there.  I think the cops and media outnumbered the rallyers.

But then what is the point of a rally and march today when nobody is there.  You want to show it to these rich corporations and the legislators by rallying and marching on a day they aren't even in their offices?  Wow, that makes your statement loud and clear.  No, if you want to put pressure on them, you go in on a weekday.  You get an army of unemployed men and women, including high school and college students, and you march down 9th Street at 8:45 A.M. Monday morning.

We have a very long way to go.
