America Stands Watch, September 4th, 2007 July 30, 2007
Posted by Joe in : Political Circus , trackback
If you’re as dissatisfied with Congress as the rest of us, clear your calendar for September 4th.
That’s the day Congress reconvenes after summer recess. It’s also the day a group called America Stands Watch is organizing a silent protest in the Senate and House of Representatives galleries. A peaceful protest that tells our Congressmen “Hey, we’re watching you - and we don’t like what you’re doing.”
All you have to do is sign up on the website to let them know you’re coming, and come September 4th, you’ll go to D.C. and get your ticket to enter either the House or Senate gallery and take a seat. At a given signal, all members of the group will stand together in silent protest.
Keep in mind, you are not allowed to bring anything into Congress, like buttons, pins, signs, cameras, etc.; this is an entirely silent protest. No one needs to get themselves in trouble.
It sounds like a good idea to me. Writing letters and leaving voicemails with Congress really doesn’t seem to get the job done, so maybe with a few hundred or few thousand people standing watch over them, something will change.
