There are a lot of people (at least in CA) questioning the wisdom of a national march at this time. But if it happens, I will do everything I can to be there.
These folks are also questioning a run at a 2010 or even a 2012 ballot initiative to restore marriage equality. Again, I see both sides and am a bit torn over it myself.

The date of the 2009 march is planned for October 11th which is the 30th anniversary almost to the day of the very first national march on Washington for lesbian and gay rights in 1979.
That would be cool. However, that's just 16 weeks away so if they're going to pull this off they need to get their asses in gear now and hit the LGBT publications with advertising so that people can start planning the trip to DC. I will be there.  National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights October 1979 Rick

keep me posted, I'll try to get the time off from work. I have more vacation starting the end of June, so hopefully it will be an option. I really would like to go!

If the 2009 March on Washington is going to happen in October ( just shy of 14 weeks from now) then the movement for the march better get some traction soon. I have seen no articles or media coverage on this effort since the original news release over four weeks ago.
Cleve Jones who called for the march at a rally on May 7th in St. Lake City hasn't been heard from since. He better get his ass in gear and start making some noise about this real soon or LGBT people around the nation will start to lose interest. It's June 25th already. We need to hear from you Cleve. Talk to us. Rick
