On Nov 2, there will be a march on Washington of Godless Americans. Will you attend?

Me - I'm going to do it. The time is right.

Hmmm. Interesting. Y'know, I've never been to Washington, D.C. before ...

Oh, and funydirector, welcome to the boards. How's upstate New York? As a man with deep roots in the Buffalo area, I have to ask: has the snow melted yet?

I think I might actually go.

I live in Chesapeake, Virginia (Hampton Roads - Southern Virginia) and is only about a 3 hour drive to D.C. Though I am 17, so I don't know if my parents will allow me to, but they are quite trusting of my judgement. Plus I use to live there =)

Ooo - Maybe I can stop by Kings Dominion =P

I don't usually get involved in marches, protests, etc., but I'm going to try to make this one.

Who knows? This might be the beginning of the end of the marginalization of the nonreligious in America.

I can dream....

I might go. I live right around the corner. Don't go into D.C. much, but this would be a good excuse to get off my duff and brave the traffic/subway/terrorists and head into the nation's capitol.

I'm not so sure "Godless Americans" was the best tag line, though. Seems unnecessarily abrasive. I guess it's following in the footsteps of the gay rights slogan "we're here and we're queer." It worked for them, I suppose.

The snow's actually gone, but we're STILL getting frosty nights! Black flies are alternately coming out and getting walloped by the freaky cold snaps.

I WILL be there!! I live 15 miles from the mall.

It's a long way from Madison, but I'm planning on going. Hmmm, if I reserve now, I can probably get really good ticket and hotel rates!

I work in DC. Count me and my three kids in!

enigma555 · 05-28-2002, 08:20 PM

If my class shedule allows, I'll be there.

I live in Kensington, just north of the DC beltway.
