Vlad wanted to know when in the last 100 years that protests have worked. Hmmm... Let's see <br> 1)Lech Walesa and the Polish Workers' Revolt, which began a domino effect on the entire Soviet empire, Berlin, etc.<br> 2)Women's Suffrage Movement, which gave women the vote, as well as the Women's Rights Movement 50 years later which gave equal opportunities to women.<br> 3)Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott.<br> 4)The Anti-War protests in the 60s.<br> 5) The end of apartheid in South Africa.<br> 6) AIDS marches increased public awareness and spending to find a disease<br> <br> I could go on, but I think you get my point. My question to Vlad is when has MASS protests NOT led to change? <br> <br> The Tea Party is not silly. It's going to change this country, and this change is being created by the people, not a PR agency on Madison Avenue. Oh, and Congress IS noticing the tea bags, even though they won't tell you in the press. It is only the first step in a long process. It's like the kick-off in a football game. Next play - 4.15.09.
