There is simply no excuse to not go. Last time around, I was at the rallies. Then I took time out of work and sat for 8 hours and waited with my then 15 year-old daughter and she testified in front of the committee. The video of it is on this site somewhere.
Today is a milestone birthday for me, and I just pissed my wife and family off and last-minute cancelled a family barbecue to celebrate it tomorrow - to go to this rally.
This shit is important. This IS the red line. If not us, who, and if not now, WHEN? Collectively, we need to organize and make our voices heard. We are outnumbered, but a determined active vocal minority CAN make a difference. This is NOT the time to say 'the other guys got this. You NEED to make the time. Our freedom literally hangs in the balance. Call in, call out, take the T, walk, drive, teleport, whatever. Just get there.
