I always read those things in the news about the big peace marches in Washington D.C., and it irks me that whenever I learn of one of those big organized protests, I always learn about them *after* the fact. Can anybody tell me how I can find out about large war protests/peace demonstrations in advance? Thank you!

I live in Southern California, if that helps any.

m1a1mikegolf: I'm sorry your opinion on war differs from mine, but I was looking for an answer, not a debate. Please, if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Go to the website of any organization made up of people who feel that you are not worth defending.
How does it feel to know what the people who agree with your political opinions do not feel that you and your freedoms are worth protecting?

Try moveon.org and their ilk. Maybe Air America (assuming they're still on the air) announces them in advance, too.
BTW, those anti-war rallies are remarkably small; the press won't even tell you how many people were there 'cause it's such a small number. They said things like "thousands" and "a few thousand" for the last rally. That's incredibly small potatoes in this day and age. Kind of sad, really.

The turning factor for the Vietnam War used to be while Nixon requested the Joint Chiefs of Staff what the plan used to be to win the warfare. When they answered that there used to be no plan, Nixon made up our minds sufficient used to be sufficient. In distinction, while being interviewed for the process of commanding the European theatre for global warfare 2, Eisenhower reached into his briefcase and provided a plan he'd drawn up. It used to be an excellent and really exact plan of movement that he'd created on his possess initiative. He used to be simply the first-class candidate, and he did get the process performed.

Check in any alternative weekly newspapers in your area. Even check out the want ads. Believe it or not, there are groups who pay the demontrators. We had a lot of "hired guns" at the Nevada Test Site when we were still exploding nuclear bombs up there. That's one reason you see a lot of the same faces at these things.
