If you want to go to D.C., you go to D.C. I am not going to D.C. because I live in a major metropolitan area and I don't have to. I can drive in any direction for 15 miles and be at any of as many as 4-5 protests. That is what I have done and that is what I will do. I have been to four since they started a few months ago. How many have you been to?
In this protest environment there is absolutely no pressure on anyone to drive to D.C. If you were active in the movement you would know this.
Do you even know where to go online to find out where your nearest protest is?
Furthermore, the national nature of these protests are carried on the media. This is not a one-shot deal. Again, if you were familiar with it, you would know this. It does not matter if I go to D.C. All that matters is that I go.
However, I have done my share of D.C. protests. I organized 35 buses out of NYC for the Inauguration when bush stole the election. I put my credit cards on the line, hoping those buses would fill and they did. I was protesting on the streets of Newark when the republicans started this bullshit. Where were you?
I'm sure as hell not going to do this:
