The critical bit is now maintaining that level of engagement. People keep missing that bit from the original commentary. It said that no protest with 3.5% of the population consistently engaged had failed. A one off event will do very little, constant presure will yield results.

Agree 100%. The one thing that continues to concern me is that there is no one thing uniting the demonstrations. That 3.5% are engaged for so many different reasons. I have to believe that at some point we must focus our displeasure - protest against Congress for abdicating their duties, protest for a balanced budget, protest for a constitutional amendment to direct a balanced budget. We need one thing to latch on to, one thing we can sink our teeth into and hold on tight.
Pity that all those feel-good totals don't reflect the last vote for President.
When it doesn't matter people turn out. Go figure....
Stop being defeatist.. inform yourself.. look at the numbers. Look at the evidence. Get active.
If you’ve wondered why everything looks like a coup since he got in, perhaps it is because it is one.
