Special BRAD BLOG / Velvet Revolution coverage
of the Sep 24-26 Rally in D.C.
Guest blogged by Katrina Wilcox

So long fellow warriors … these last few photos conclude our coverage of the DC rally. It was a privilege and pleasure to share our first protest experience with each of you. It is our sincerest hope that next time we march on Washington each of you will be there to add your voice to ours and the rest of the millions that show up to demand our country back. Our special thanks goes out to Brad for his suggestion that we guest blog our trip, to Winter Patriot and David for their expert help, and to Chris, Charles, Mark, Larisa, Brad, and Stan for adding their voices to our coverage.

As difficult as a leaderless revolution is to get started, once begun it is impossible to stop. There is no leader to destroy through lies, propaganda, or bullets. We are a Rainbow River made up of millions of droplets all flowing towards a common goal. A river that will always flow over or around whatever is put in the way to stop it.

Always remember that en masse we are invincible. Once we all realize that … swirl the sound of that around in our brains and cling to it with all of our collective stubbornness and strength – we will have won. In that one frozen instant of shared realization … we will have won …

    Q: How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a light bulb?

    A: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; its conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom?

    I like the "Mad cowboy disease" poster about the bu$hit ideology.

    Reminds me of Slim Pickens riding the nuke down toward the millions he would obliterate in a frenzy of silly "politics".

    To the neoCon mad cows "crime" and "politics" mean the same thing.

    Yes, there really was a million person protest! I know I was there. I traveled across the country to participate and was amazed., I was not alone. There were many others, hundreds of thousands, who joined with me to say we have had enough. End this war and bring our troops home.
    Six lanes wide, four miles long and protesters still lining up to start when I had finished.
    We are the majority. This administration is holding on by a shoestring.

    Hi Peg! No indeed, sister (and all you other sisters and brothers in Bradville), we are not alone. Don’t it feel good?

    Love and Peace, Bob

    Reminds me that the medium is the message: the form of something is as, or more, significant than its content. We are heading toward a global/networked/local world. A leaderless democracy is a genuine democracy.
