I went with some friends from Ann Arbor, Michigan. We took a bus to DC on the 23th, and stayed for the huge march on the 24th. It was a great experience, to see so many mainstream Americans out showing there support for the troops, and protesting the war in Iraq.
A majority of these people are not wacko leftwing hippies, as many pro-war people would like to make them out to be. These people could easily be your brother, sister, coworker, boss, mother, father, grandmother, grandfather or friend. They are all people that are tired of wasting billions of dollars, and thousands of American lives on a seemingly hopeless war in a land far away that was no threat to them.
It is time for us to stop complaining about this war and take action. People will start to listen when 350,000(the real number... you can't listen to what the media reports, or in this case doesn't report) thousand people march on the Whitehouse. However, we need to keep this up until the president starts to show some real leadership, and start to answer our questions.
I have uploaded some of our pictures here:

We also look some videos that I hope to upload soon (need to get a firewire cable).
